Paul,
RE: "Cyrix is losing money and besides Compaq, nobody with a
reputable brand name is using their product. Even IBM has
dropped Cyrix - and IBM does the Fab work for Cyrix! Some
endorsement!"

I don't believe this is correct since IBM markets 6x86MXs under the IBM name and IBM does use some Cyrix chips in some PCs albiet it seems they lost out to the virtuslly free K6 for the time being.

Then again, Radio Shack has dropped the IBM Aptiva line in favor of Compaq. So saying "besides Compaq" sounds good but Compaq is not too shabby of a line to carry your product. Besides, Cyrix is gong off on a tangent now...let's see what happens when they re-emerge.
