- Since the P5 is officially the PENTIUM, and there are systems using V20, V30
- and 8088 processors out there, I think the .x86. designator may not be the
- best for naming. Maybe the generic "pc" could be used, though all the
- competing architectures (Amiga, Mac, etc) can claim that they are also
- "personal computers".
