Petz, how about, "Guaranteed Intel free". I make the parallel of the engine to people when they ask about Intel inside. Most of the time you can reduce it to a non sequitir(which it is). The differences between the two are trivial and only the geeks want that 5% or so. Others should be able to take what runs well. The paradox is you are able to ask more for a K6 than an Intel, just saying it is faster does the trick, about $50 on a system, and when you tell them it is 5-6% faster, and means that over a year they will save $25 hours of waiting for the thing to finish, and that is $2 per hour on their time, they buy. One problem is getting them, even at a small premium. I hope this year will see the K6 fly. Bill
