	Ugh! Intel plays games with the benchmarks again.  I seem to recall a
really glowing benchmark on the 8088 when it first came out.  It made it look 
like it blew the doors off an 68000 :-).  Not that I think that a 80286 is a 
real slow-poke, but remember Intel writes the rules for the benchmarks - they
know the processor's strengths & weaknesses.  So be sceptical when they say it
blows a VAX 780's doors off ( who uses Berkley Pascal anyway? ).  Wait till the 
*real* machine comes out.

Sometimes I think Intel plays numbers games to hide their brain-damaged archi-
tectures.

Please, no flames ... Especially from Intel!
