Speaking of which, you should see this new product announcement from the
"big I" that a salesman just dropped on my desk.... You wouldn't believe
all those registers could be in that little chip, would you??? Of course
something had to go to make room, so all math operations now use table 
look-up. (Said with jest, while I sit here waiting for the 1986 vaporware
contest entries to arrive).

Since the year is closing out, how about some nominations for the vaporware
of the year contest (1985)?????
