- Your right - there has been so much publicity - the whole world knows what
- the "P5" is. Of course there will be a lot more publicity between now and
- Q1 (or whenever) - and the name "P5" will be defactoed in there big-time.
- "586" already sounds horribly antiquated.
-
- So, will Intel change the name (again) when they decide who wins the "name
- the P5" contest??
-
- And if they do, what if a competitor then uses the name "P5"??

- I feel an infinite series comming on... :-)
