Er, to Intel's credit, errata is actually a pretty reasonable term, long used in publishing. The real master of neologistics on the bug front is Microsoft, which calls them "known issues". At least they don't call them "features" as in the old software saw, "It's not a bug . . ." On the vaguely related subject of the W in Wintel, the coinage I'm proudest of is "NT2k, the OS for the next Millennium". I first pegged NT5 as NT2k on SI in March, '97, when the Microphiles here were touting its imminent shipment. I used to handicap it against mysterious Merced, I figured Intel would beat it out the door there for sure, Intel's record for shipping things on schedule was, and still is, a lot better than Microsoft's, but not in that case. Cheers, Dan.
