Alas, I needed to review one of the last versions of Aldus PageMaker and it wouldn't run on a Cyrix chip -- only on Intel. That drove me to get a new box -- a PII-450 which served me well for several years. https://liam-on-linux.livejournal.com/49259.html But they were good chips. Some unfortunate software accidents more or less killed them. As that blog post says, I'm still waiting for Via to do something interesting, but they don't seem to be interested. -- Liam Proven • Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • Google Mail/Hangouts/Plus: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven • Skype/LinkedIn: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 • ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053
