- I really dislike how most hardware vendors FORCE me to use an Intel
- processor instead of Cyrix or AMD. They don't even offer the other
- processors as an option. I mean, if these hardware vendors made
- the processors, I'd understand, but they seem to have a monopolistic
- agreement with Intel as their only supplier.
