	Um, let me get this right?? 2 486 processors=1 Pentium?? News to Intel,
too, I'm sure. Maybe if I develop a better understanding of BiCMOS
microelectronic processing (uh, beyond my BS degree in Microelectronics) I
might understand that. You better let Intel know about that. I'm sure that
they'll want to know.....
