Mani, check out duron.com . If you own a home and want to do some painting, you might want to check it out. By the way, I also checked athlon.com , and it took me to a company called Athlon Communications. On that page, I noticed that there was a link which contained the actual definition of an "athlon": The major city-states of ancient Greece periodically held large celebrations which included contests among their best playwrights, musicians, orators and sportsmen. The prize awarded to the victors was called an athlon. The athlon usually took the form of a large terracotta vase, known as a prize amphora, filled with olive oil. The outside of the vase was specially decorated with images of the contest, presided over by a deity such as Athena. The skilled competitors who strove after these prizes -- regardless of the field of endeavor -- were known as athletes. It is telling that the term athlon was used not only for the prize but for the contest as well, thus linking the struggle for excellence with the fruits of victory. Of course, I also checked out: pentium.com celeron.com xeon.com itanium.com but they all pointed to Intel's public home page. Tenchusatsu
