Nobody responded to my little joke that the plural of "pentium"
should be "paragon" (philistines!).  But there was actually a
shred of a serious question in there.  I remember reading on this
newsgroup that pentium was supposed to be a replacement for
the '486 and the '860, from which I infer that a future paragon
could be based on pentium.  Clearly Intel will not continue to
use the '860 as the paragon processor indefinitely; can anybody
comment on what they are considering for future machines?
