Saw an add in today's Long Island Newsday (which is the only mass circulation daily on Long Island). Add for Westbury Camera which runs those familiar full page adds. Had two adds for the K-7 Atholn, one from IBM and one from Compaq. Two interesting things. One was the prices (I think $649 and $749 before the usual $400 rebate to sign up with an ISP for three years). Second was the spelling - Atholn. That is not a typo - that's the way it was spelled. Sounds Swedish, Norwegian or Danish to my ears. The rest of the adds were for the usual mix of Celerons, PIIs and PIIIs.
