A mixture of pictures and text Brian


The first PC I assembled myself was a 486. I remember when the cpu was
first released there were reports of it overheating which implied that
Intel had cocked up big time. Intel's response 'It's OK, put a fan on
the cpu to cool it' was initially greeted with some scepticism I
recall.
