Just a big promotional campaign. It is 40 years since the 8086 first hit the market. -- Cheers!

I guess if the US gets 2086 and Canada gets 500 and Quebec is excluded, odds for Canadians are much better. :) -- Len Sorensen
Thanks. It takes 2 weeks to find out if you've won? They must be using ARM server for the draw.
