Good point! Didn't Intel have to recall a load of chips after the Pentium 
bug business? I see EPIC is now calling for a recall of Pentium III
after software developer Zero-Knowledge Systems managed to
exploit the chip's serial number control system to access IDs even when 
they were supposed to be switched off! <http://www.zks.net/p3/> I
don't have a Pentium III system to try out their test demonstration
there.
