Sadly yes. It's either a Pentium 60 or Pentium 90. I'm ashamed to say 
it, but I don't remember. What I remember is this thing cost a damn 
fortune when it first came out (don't they all) and I ran a complete 
company off this 'lil guy. I remember also that it went all over the 
world with me. Ridiculous to say perhaps, but I almost can't bear to 
throw it away if it has even the *slightest* final use before it bites 
the dust.
