John, Maurice - Re:IBM"...had the opportunity on Pentium(r)..." I believe the "official" comment that IBM made at that time (1993) was that the Pentium required a BiCMOS wafer Fab process, which was not in IBM's future. They cited this as the reason for not licensing/manufacturing the Pentium. I'm certain that the real reasons were that their PowerPC program with Apple/Motorola was under full steam and they figured they could knock Intel out of business by becoming the pre-eminent (spelling?) microprocessor designer/manufacturer. Oh well, visions of lost glory continue to steer IBM into a random walk pattern. Paul PS - John - Do I have to put a (r) next to the Pentium word to be in compliance with trade name registration? If I don't, am I violating anything? Paul
