An observant gentleman from Intel (see below) gave me the straight scoop 
on
the status of the 486 chip manufacture (last time I listen to my 
wholesaler).

Official or not, Mr. Paizis,

Thank you very much for setting me straight on this issue. <Heavy blush 
of
well-deserved embarrasment>. So, other readers, I apologize for 
promulgating
inaccurate information!!!! I will try do better in the future. One more 
time
I get to be reminded of The Guerrilla Computor's First Law of Computing:

"It ain't what I DON'T know that causes me problems;
It's what I know THAT AIN'T SO, that gives me all the trouble."

Thanks again, Mr. Paizis! Best wishes for an enjoyable, profitable day
tomorrow and the holiday season ahead to you and yours

Lance
