jmac, >>> I disagree with you. With everything going so well, why the heck did they rock the boat.<<< That's what I said, why rock the boat. What I meant by this: With things going swimmingly well with Intel lately, I'd just soon they'd kept that one for the PXX or something. was, why didn't Intel wait until the Pentium Twenty (XX Roman = twenty English) to intro this serial ID thing. PXX and I'm on a beach with no phones, faxes or PCs. Not really. Just back from my walk and the first thing I heard was that Intel is giving the option to turn the (damn) thing off. I assume that means permanently, or, at least until you decide to wake it up. As it was originally announced, you could turn it off, but it would turn back on every time you rebooted. Goes to show you that no matter how comfortable you may be with a stock in an individual company, even they may do something to foul it up. Tony

jmac, (OOPS, DOUBLE POST. I hate it when it does that)! :-\| >>> I disagree with you. With everything going so well, why the heck did they rock the boat.<<< That's what I said, why rock the boat.

This type of thing is a far out future, five year and more impact thing of the kind Andy Grove said he'd be working. Tony
