	In a press release, when asked to respond to possible
competetion in the 80386-486 market from Nextgen,(a new startup) Intel
replys that, Nexgen may be doing the customers a dis-service, if they
"violate the standard."


	So now Intel is the most holy keeper of *the* standard, are
they?  Looking after the interests of the customers, making sure that
no one does us a dis-service, eh ?  Oh pleeeeeeease.  

	And this, mind you from the company that brought you the 80286,
a processor that needs a hardware reset to swith from protected to real
mode.
