Paul, <Re: Pentium Bug .. A good analogy is ..at 65 MPH .. slamming your automatic transmission into PARK - a totally doable deed> You pretend to be smart but your analogy is wrong.
The correct analogy would be driving a bus at 65mph, full of people, and ANYONE from the street can slam YOUR transmission into PARK, and laugh at how you all crash...

In a good device an attempt to do this "from the street" just causes an interrupt and MAKES IMPOSSIBLE to crash a computer "bus". Your friends at Intel are all wet again with their validation department as with Dan-411 and FDIV bugs. I hope they will reinvest more money into R&D/validation (at shareholder's expence, of course).
