I don't know if this constitutes a formal announcement, but there is a giant billboard on I-95 not too far from the Boca Raton IBM plant where PCs are (or used to be anyway) made. It says something like: "Test drive the 1991 model Am386". I can't recall ever seeing a billboard advertising a CPU chip before (although I can imagine it being more common in California than Florida). -- ====================================================================== domain: tahorsley@csd.harris.com USMail: Tom Horsley uucp: ...!uunet!hcx1!tahorsley 511 Kingbird Circle Delray Beach, FL 33444 +==== Censorship is the only form of Obscenity ======================+ | (Wait, I forgot government tobacco subsidies...) | +====================================================================+
