[] Gee, that was to much to ignore... Can anybody point me to the numerous powerful multi-user super-boxes that are using the '286 or '386 (AT doesn't count since it is actually used by single users, and in 8088 emulation mode, primarily)? As far as I can tell, designers that are not REQUIRED by their employers to use Intel chips have long used the 68K family for that purpose! If you want REALLY high-end computing power, you get a CRAY and such. If you want a real big bang per buck, you get a 68K personal machine. Unless, of course, you only feel comfortable in the crowd, the crowd that will use 8080 software forever (they think). - Moshe Braner BTW: the ST + 32081 math coprocessor beats (for number crunching) the portion of the power of the VAX I work on that actually labors for me. Price? still < $1000
