Back in the day.....yes PC Magazine was thee reference for hardware, software such as games/apps/ETC and Intel had come out with the NEW 386 based 32 bit computer CPU. Well it was expensive and needed a whole new motherboard with 32 bit data paths. Soooo after all the grumbling Intel made a 32 bit IO CPU (386DX) and a 32 bit CPU with 16 bit IO the new and wonderful 386SX. Of course the problem was Intel had sped up the 80286 CPU and in PC Mag's test the 386sx and new and faster 80286 turned out the same results!

Well PC Mag had their technical wizard named John Dvorack following all this and he seemed to hate both IBM and Intel and every issue he'd raise hell about this or that. Well I remember an issue where it seems the computer engineers in Tiwan had figured how to make the 80286 CPU run much faster than even the 386DX! Whoa....so off to the far east went John and he found that their CPUs were exactly the same speed as older ones....they had found a way to rig/modify the PC Mag benchmarks so their results were skewed! Boy was he initially MAD with capital letters but then he got even by handing out those white pocket protectors to everyone in the company. They had none before they po'd him!
