Cringe - Re: " Although our sources tell us that the plug-in card is now delayed, Gateway said two hours earlier that it would, in fact, introduce a Klamath (that is a Pentium Pro on a card) for Christmas 1997 " Are you posting from a Time Warp ? Christmas 1998 just passed. Why are you rolling around in the history/fantasy of the Y-UK-O Register? Paul

Cirruslvr, re: the article from The Register, I can hardly understand what on Planet Earth this article is trying to say, since the flow of the the writing just takes way too many turns. Plus, the headline is inaccurate: "Three years ago: Intel's MMX extensions blunder." Apparently the writer forgot that MMX was introduced during the 1997 Super Bowl, i.e. January. That was two years ago, not three. Combine this with The Register's reputation for being blatantly anti-Intel, and the lack of journalistic quality in that article becomes obvious. Tenchusatsu
