This troll apparently really does not know the difference between a
sleeve bearing and a fluid dynamic bearing.



The difference is a marketing department.

You might want to read up on the fact that 9600 baud on computers is no
longer 9600 baud and not only in multitasking systems. It has to do with
the point that all modern OS's CPU time scheduling mechanisms are
incompetent. It's not like 9600 baud is something the hardware could not
manage, it's the point that the software's triggers and events misfire
by design.


It seems you're suggesting computers don't work at all,
since they can and do processes 9600 baud signals as well as
a myrid # of others, given I/O peripherals.


Correct. Anyone suggesting otherwise lacks experience in these things.
Cast your mind back 10-15 years where it was relatively common to hook
up a single machine to several dumb terminals for UNIX use. The machines
at the time could easily support 30-40+ users on serial lines, often at
higher baud rates than 9600. Bear in mind we're talking about 386 or
486 processors with 8450 or possibly 16450 UARTs if you weren't lucky
enough to have an intelligent serial card.

I guess this troll also considers "sleeve bearing" to be
a marketing term.


i no longer care why every single post you write starts out with, 'this
troll' but you just are a nuisance so into the kill file you go.

I knew this troll was going to have a tough time with my simple
correction.


What exactly makes me a troll here?


If you say anything he doesn't agree with then you get labelled a troll by
him.

Just killfile him and be done with it.

Intel had bigger production of processors. In that time they made
contracts with big pc-produce companies. Now You can read abot ome
companies offering AMD based computers, because of AMD's FAB36 - they
increased production so they can satify the price and quantity demands.
There is always posibility to bild you own pc with processor of Your
choise.

PS
Sorry for mispelling. English is not my primar language
