We've lost a lot of crazies in the last few years. Albert & Sherlie come to mind.

...By stepping up its manufacturing-process development, Intel will cut expenses by amortizing its costs across a greater number of dice per wafer. The process acceleration will also advance several CPU-upgrade introduction dates by a quarter.
New 333- and 366-MHz Dixon mobile chips, which are sold under the Celeron brand name, will be released in 1999's second and third quarters, respectively, and will include 128 Kbytes of on-chip cache. Mobile Coppermine chips, at 400-, 500-, and "500+"-MHz speeds, will be available in September 1999, according to the roadmap.
On the desktop, a 366-MHz Celeron will be launched Jan. 6, a quarter earlier than first projected, while 400- and 433-MHz Celeron roll-outs will be moved to the first and second quarters, respectively. A 600-MHz Coppermine chip has also been moved up three months, to late in the third quarter.
Additionally, Intel has added a 533-MHz speed grade to its Katmai desktop lineup, which is slated for a second-quarter introduction. In the workstation arena, Intel has added a 550-MHz chip to its Tanner family and a 667-MHz device to its Cascades processor line, both of which will be introduced in the second half of 1999.
