There is nothing more annoying than someone who argues subjects he clearly 
knows nothing about. You are way off on your pricing. Way off. A 633 Celeron 
is under 50. Q1 for petes sake. The cost difference would be less than $20. 
in quantity. It would be less than $80. Q1.

Theres an old saying about being penny-wise and pound foolish. Using a 486 in 
todays networking and cost environment is just plain moronic.
