Ahem.

Nosing around in my /proc directory.........I noticed that the

/proc/cpuinfo

...

file says that I have the F0 0F bug. How in the heck is that possible when my computer is about 11 months old. I have a P-233 MMX.

All bugs are not fixed in hardware (ever). Some not so serious bugs are just worked around in software. If you read carefully you might also see something about "workaround enabled" in your boot messages.
