Oh yes, sorry about this now I remember. There was an ever famous Cyrix
bug that computer magazines hyped up as if it was a murderous killing. Now
I remember (grabs April 1995 APC)

I think Cyrix offered replacement CPU's (it was an internal cache?) at the
time for anybody who was affected by the bug, and there was a software
based tester for DOS (could be run under DOSEMU??) released onto sunsite
and simtel.

 Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies
 the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry
 penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more
 careful about what they say if they had.
