BTW: I took this ] "486" decision to be yet one more indicator that NeXT does not ] target the mass market. Intel486(tm) SX processors are priced at just a little over $100 in 1000-unit quantities, and Intel plans to continue dropping the price of it's x86 products. Which is to say : in very few years, 486-class machines will be the mass market, and 386-class machines will be where the 286-class machines are now : low-end laptops and toys for the kids. -- Dennis O'Connor doconnor@sedona.intel.com
