: 	Um what is scary about it ?  a 386 has way more more processing
: power than a VAX 11/780.... nowdays people get cought up in these stupid
: os/chip wars and forget just what the hell they have sitting on their
: desks doing word processing and Quake...  I mean, do you know what the
: flight computer that *space shuttles* use ?

Nothing ironic, the 386 is reasonably powerful (a hell of a lot more
powerful than most people realise, as long as it's not crippled with a badly
written and bloated O/S) and reasonably stable.

I'd be more worried if they were using PPro's.. Some sources are already
suggesting the latest run of chips have a whole new batch of maths bugs in
them..
