I was told a new generation of pc IBM 586 was born. But I couldn't find anything from pc magazines. Can someone out there say something about it?

Can someone out there say something about it? ------------------------------- I just read an article yesterday about the 586. Sounds like Intel is still designing the chip. If people are talking about selling a 586 computer, I'd say we've hit a new high (low??) in "vapor-ware". -ted- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ted@helios.ucsc.edu |"He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the W (408)459-2110 |Lord require of you but to do justice and to love kindness H (408)423-2444 |and to walk humbly with your God?"

We may have namespace corruption here... there is an ethernet card called PC586. I believe it has just been upgraded.
