Dunn) Distribution: net Organization: Philips Information Systems - St. Laurent P.Q., Canada Lines: 16 Xref: linus net.micro:11330 net.arch:1797 Summary: The 386 announcement on the net was not by itself objectionable, indeed I enjoyed the obvious enthusiasm for a "job well done" (we hope) by the poster. A new processor product announcement is obviously of general interest to the net readership, both Intelites and others. The followup (non)descriptive posting was however questionable, and the solicitation for information requests *by e-mail over the net* should definitely not have appeared. There are *competitors* of Intel on the net, why should they be bearing the cost of supplier-customer communications? I recently posted an article in net.news.group & net.micro.amiga on this subject, specifically being concerned that net.micro.amiga is turning into a dialogue between Commodore-Amiga and their software developers.
