Ryan Radecki writes "News.com reports that Arizona lawmakers are planning
to introduce a bill that would ban the Pentium III due to its usage of a
serial number for PC tracking and identification. The bill would ban chips
with serial numbers, computers with chips with serial numbers, prohibit
state and government agencies from buying computers with said chips
inside, and prohibit the manufacture of said chips in the state, which
would be an intriguing situation for the two Intel fabrication plants
located in Arizona. "
