First off, very well done indeed. Congratulations on getting this far.

Second, could you ask your PR people not to refer to the x86 as "x-86" ?
(It's in the announcement again.)

It may seem like a small thing, but it reminds me of the journalists who
used to identify the F-111 as the F1-11 and they immediately identified
themselves as someone who didn't know anything about military aviation.

Thanks,

Simon.
