Well, those writers aren't always techies.  Besides, "68030" and "80386"
have in common:

	- 5 digit length
	- a "6" on one end
	- the sequence "803"

How's a poor harried hack supposed to keep this straight?  If you pretend
real hard, you might convince yourself that "sixty-eight-oh-thirty" and
"eighty-three-eighty-six" sound almost the same.  B-)
