	Well, maybe they wouldn't mind getting into a price war.  Suppose
	their factory really is neat and, given sufficient volume, they
	could be price competitive.  If they offered a low-cost Intel box
	that was available with NT or NeXTSTEP ?86 (and maybe even, as 
	I've suggested before, NT with NeXTSTEP), they might be able to
	sell enough boxes to bring their unit costs down and that would be
	good for all of us.
