Not to the point of fooling yourself into thinking the universe revolves
around a single [processor, architecture, whatever].  The posting was
wrong, and I pointed it out.  You're right, not many people have PC clones
with anything but Intel [compatible] processors.  But an 80386 isn't some
magical chip that suddenly makes multi-tasking possible.  There are other
colors besides blue.
