Hi!

A friend of mine was interested in the following:

Which company was the first to use the Intel 386 processor in its
computers? Was it IBM, Intel, Compaq, Sony or DELL? Anybody knows
a good way to find this out?

What does an abbreviation (not an animal) COW stand for? Must be
something computer related...

Thanks a lot for your help.
