It must be January here in California because every day for the last
month I've walked by an office with a Model 80 in it. I always knew
California was ahead of the rest of the nation.

Obviously IBM is afraid of what the 386 will do to the rest of their
product line and is holding the Model 80 back. (this is sarcasm)

Here's a question for you people who like to second guess IBM's choice
of the 8088 for the first PC. When did Motorola come out with the
equivalent of the 8251, 8253, 8259, and 8237? (this assumes you
know what they are and their importance)
