I too appreciate information, but I don't want marketing glossies coming out
of my CRT screen too!  I don't understand what all the furor over the 386 is.

I fail to see why anyone would 'sweat' over the 386 unless they knew they
HAD to use it on their next project.  What can it do that the 68020 can't do 
better?
