Gary, Again we are talking about hypothetical situation that this bug was in P-Pro generation. Some of these systems are designed for multiuser, "mission critical" operations. Do you think New York Stock exchange would buy these systems to run trillions of dollars in transactions if they were so volnurable? This bug is less of a problem in Pentium because Pentiums are mainly used by single end-users. If the end-user computer dies, it is usually not a disaster. But if your NT, Novell or Unix server dies, it can cause serious problems. Bringing these systems back up is not just flipping the on/off switch. You have to repair disk volumes, restore pending transactions not posted etc. Serious loss of productivity. Joe
