An article in an article I read mentioned that the Toshiba
4900 (which uses the 75MHz Pentium) has the bug as well and
Toshiba isn't planning on upgrading people when Intel fixes it
(which won't be until 1Q95). The mobile Pentium can't be
replaced by the user because it is supplied on a fine-pitched
chip carrier. I guess buyer beware for anyone looking into any
new Pentium systems...there will probably be bargain basement
Pentiums w/ the math bug next year :-)

If it's anything like the IBM ergonomic keyboard, I'd be pretty
happy. A keyboard that can fold or split eases RSI strains.
Having the keyboard split and your arms perpendicular to
the sides of your body feels more natural...
