There is at least one of them in Northwest Houston.  I assumed Intel
placed it in this part of town because COMPAQ headquarters is nearby.

How many non-computer types drive by, see these signs, and wonder what
the ad is for?  I did a double-take the first time I saw it!

BTW I'd rather have a 386DX (over a 386SX), the DX being the *real*
386 chip.
