TBerk (via webmail, pls excuse any HTML code) chiming
in to support the OTOH view- 

Nothing but good w/ AMD, not so good with Intel (at
least not since Compaq came out w/ the 386. But I
digress.)

It's off topic but perhaps the M/B played a factor in
the trouble reported.

Back on topic again; it was funny to see the withdraw
symptoms expressed by fellow list members when they
didn't get there MTV, er Scirocco List email Daily
Ration.
