I hear Intel has plans all the way up to at least an 80786. How long can you keep a processor with such a nasty instruction set going? It'd be dead by now if the IBM pc weren't so standard. Actually, I believe the PC is FINALLY really beginning to fade away. >BTW, nice topic for a sources newsgroup... Yeah, we've all rebelled and started writing here, since comp.sys.amiga is so high-volume. (Is it already time for more comp.sys.amiga.#? groups again? If so, I recommend comp.sys.amiga.wish-lists, comp.sys.amiga.rumors, and comp.sys.amiga.forsale) >-- >Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to >Commodore Frankfurt, Germany \X/ rutgers!cbmvax!cbmger!peterk ============================================================================ "The beauty queen, clevely clad, Logan Shaw admires herself in a cigarette ad. lshaw@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu Will she admit that all was in vain ======================== when the face in her mirror cracks like a windowpane?" -Elim Hall, _Things_Break_
