assistant: Hello Fred!
Sorry,
No misconseption intended.  The header doesnt have enough room to list it as
a Pentium Class computer, so thats the reason for it being that way.
Itternally the message does clearly state that its a Cyrix P200 plus 686 cpu
though.
I have both processors Cyrix and the Intel 200 MMX for sale and personally
after having used both in my own computers find the Cyrix faster.
You could use a little work on your tactfullness and have said that I should
have posted the header differently, but shouldn't accuse me of dishonesty.
The statement was tacky, but in the future I'll be sure to post properly.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention though.
