Comp. Sci. Lines: 11 Keywords: Intel, 386 I'm generally not one to spread rumors, but since I am in the market for a pc I was wondering if anyone knew about some news I have heard. I spoke to a dealer last week who said that all of Intel's production of chips for the next year had been contracted to some Japanese firm and this would cause a large increase in the cost of all machines. Is this just another way to get sell me a machine or is ther any truth to this. ---Michael
