I live in a 3br condo.  One of the three is an office for my wife and  
I.    We did the big house back in Spokane.   
(www.theglovermansion.com for those of you who don't know.)   We are  
*so* done with that.   As previously posted, I have my own little  
party here most nights.

I'm in-town, but the kid has a party on Sat.

And I was "quite close" to the lawyer who mounted the defense in  
Intel .v AMD on the whole subject of microcode for the 486.  sigh.

VIA has announced that "c7" (avaialble next year) will ship at  
1.5GHz, but will clock up to 2.0GHz.   The L2 cache is 128K.

The Eden-DP (VIA's first dual core chip) has 2 Eden CPUs, each with  
64KB of cache.
