Elmer, OTOT: When you get to the end of the line, don't hit the enter key. Just keep typing. Hit enter only when you get to the end of the paragraph, like what I am just about to do: Now, when you change font sizes (ctrl-[ and ctrl-] in Netscape), the word wrapping does it's job. Joe

Elmer, <Clueless one, Now you prove that there is no reprogrammable microcode by pointing us to an article about reprogrammable microcode. .. Real smart Ali.> Brainless one, we are talking here about harmful bugs in Pentium processors. If a microcode is patched but DOES NOT FIX THE BUG, who cares if this feature exist on non-exist. THE BUG IS STILL THERE, comprehend? It is there, no matter how big your mouth is of how strong is your personal bilief in Intel. Period. Have you read carefully the message: xp6.dejanews.com. The flag erratum will not be corrected by a microcode update. Because it is HARDWARE BUG. The same is more true for F0-bug on regular Pentiums and MMX-pentioum. Let me remind you that the PentuimMMX revenue was about $3B last quarter. All those processors have the F0-bug that easily kills a computer.
