Nope, must be all the time.  I was part of a group doing a design for a hi-
availability machine based on the 432.  We had lived through all the lies in
the 432 specs, and then the degradations of the spec, and we actually had a 
proto partly running.  And then Intel jerked the 432.  No w the guy on the
other side of the wall is doing something using the 80186.  I wish him the
best of luck - he'll need it.  286?  Eek, I'm gun-shy.  Don't walk up to
me and say "Intel" - I won't be responsible for the reaction!

Cheers,
