Um, sorry, maybe I left something out - if "entire" was part of
the xerox.com domain, then the original poster was correct in suggesting
that "entire" shouldn't be registered.  No quibble with that.  I was
only objecting to the automatic assumption that the machine was
"beneath consideration" because the machine contained the letters "PC".
(He probably didn't mean "Personal Computer", but "386 in a box that *looks*
like a PC." - We had trouble marketting the 386 in that guise at shows because
everybody thought the thing was "just another goddamn AT clone..." - a 386
running ISC V.3 is nowhere near being that...  Damn fine product...)).

(Besides, it's not at all clear from the original posting that entire
is yet part of the xerox domain...)
