Message-ID: <2012@v7fs1.UUCP> Date: 14 Mar 90 21:44:42 GMT Reply-To: sv@v7fs1.UUCP (Steve Verity) Organization: Video 7 /Headland Technology Lines: 20 In a press release, when asked to respond to possible competetion in the 80386-486 market from Nextgen,(a new startup) Intel replys that, Nexgen may be doing the customers a dis-service, if they "violate the standard." So now Intel is the most holy keeper of *the* standard, are they? Looking after the interests of the customers, making sure that no one does us a dis-service, eh ? Oh pleeeeeeease. And this, mind you from the company that brought you the 80286, a processor that needs a hardware reset to swith from protected to real mode. -- ...........>..........>........>......>...>...>..>..>..>..>.>.>.>>>>>>>>+ .
