- No, I don't see anything wrong with using the 80x86 name- V20s and
- V30s are a little out of date, besides everybody knows they're Intel
- 80x86 clones. And, as someone else has already noted, people will keep
- on calling Intel's Pentium the "586", and when Pentium clones come
- out, the Pentium will be called the "Intels version of the 586". You may
- see Intel switch back before too long!
