Whatsa "flopper"? 

Meanwhile, I've been keeping a tally. What I have so far:


x486   : 2
x586   : 1
P1     : 8
P-MMX  : 2
P2     : 6
P3     : 9
P4     : 2 
Celeron: 3
K6-2   : 8
K6-300 : 1
K6-333 : 1
K6-450 : 1
Athlon : 6
Duron  : 2 
Xeon   : 0
Sparc  : 1
Atari  : 2
CP/M   : 2
iPAQ   : 1
iMac   : 1
LCIII  : 1
VA Linux 1221: 1
UltraSparc   : 1
Mac Classic  : 1

It's clear that some of us are serious overachievers. ;-)
