I ran a Cyrix 6x86-P166+ for a while as my main PC and it was a lovely
machine.

Alas, I needed to review one of the last versions of Aldus PageMaker and it
wouldn't run on a Cyrix chip -- only on Intel. That drove me to get a new
box -- a PII-450 which served me well for several years.

But they were good chips. Some unfortunate software accidents more or less
killed them.

As that blog post says, I'm still waiting for Via to do something
interesting, but they don't seem to be interested.
