James - Re: "You are missing a rather important point." You are missing a rather important point. Before Friday, Nov. 7, 1997 NOBODY (save one person) knew about this obscure flaw, nobody reported the flaw and nobody ever reported a problem with a Pentium related to that flaw. Tens of millions of Pentiums are out in the field and billions and billions of operating hours have been logged on the same Pentium machines without a problem. And now an illegal, meaningless, obscure code sequence has been unearthed that, when run on a Pentium, will produce a result similar to unplugging the computer. On November 6, 1997 all Pentiums were perfectly good. And you now think that on Novemmer 10 all Pentiums are trash? Better go check yout 5 MPH bumpers and be sure that they work properly. Paul
