Hello, all,

  A little status report for y'all.

  I just bought one of those them there fancy shmancy CPU upgrades.  I
had an Intel 486/DX266 and upgraded to a AMD 586/133 from Ganberry via
Micro Warehouse.  For $140 I have a machine that runs about 2.5 x
faster!

  And no problems with BSD!  Yeah!

  I was a little worried having read reports of problems with Cyrix
chips, but so far, so good!  If I notice anything, I'll report it.

  Matt
