		I'll spare the list any further discussion
		on the merits of which P5/K5/5x86 chip is
		worthwhile.  There is no black && white answer.

		But a thought here.  It would serve most of 
		us to be reminded of How-To use the mailer
		to retrieve <<whatever>> topic information
		is sought.

		I've already salted away thousands of lines
		of topics that are of interest or that `might
		become' of interest.  Still, there is the
		occasional subject---like this 586 chip---
		that requires some digging to re-discover 
		how to use majordomo to recover topics.

		Just a thought.

		PS:  Does Greg cover this in his weekly
		`how to get the most out of the mailing-list'
		posting?
