"Close to beating a dead horse, but you only have at most (I'm guessing) a handfull of Pentiums." Not even a handful – just one – which does, of course, have a defective CPU. I've already called for a replacement. "I balance my own, of course, but do you really realize how many millions of transactions and trillions of CPU cycles a corporation like ours does in a day?" If it's all integer arithmetic, they shouldn't be affected. Anyway, I'm not really arguing the point, other than to suggest that the impact of the problem was vastly overblown and, at this point, totally academic.
