- With the amiga's and mac's and whateverelse is out there I think we
- are stuck with the ibm.pc. I just don't think that "compatibles" would
- fit. At least until all the die hard crazies, wake up and smell the
- architecture. (no flames from the atari people please)
-
- By the Way, Tom, When's AMD coming out with their 486dx/50 chip, I'd
- like to see the competition force the price down so I can buy one (maybe
- even two, ha). I have an AMD 386dx/40, barely a year old. Ya think I
- could trade it up to the New AMD 50????

- later
