 One can never be certain about a rumour, since rumours never include their
source (by definition). However, I venture to guess that the source of this
one is that the US, a few months ago, revised its lists of what can be sold
to Soviet-aligned countries, and at that time many kinds of PC's were added
to the 'allowed' list, but 386 Pc's were kept on the prohibited list.
