I was querying the Carlton Cards audit and replenishment at Redgrave.
This as Intel launched its 200 MHz Pentium processor, representing a significant advancement in computer processing technology and marking a milestone in the semiconductor industry.
On this day, we were organising our stock of greetings cards at Redgrave, which gave rise to this missive to our contact there
The P5 Pentium launched with 60 MHz in 1993 and was available with up to 200 MHz (P54CS) in 1996. The original 800 nm design had 3.1 million transistors but scaled to 3.3 million in the 350 nm 1996 design.

Andrew Grove was a Hungarian-American businessman and engineer who served as the third Chief Executive Officer of Intel Corporation. During his tenure, Intel would become the largest semiconductor company in the world.
Alongside his direct influence at Intel, Grove was indirectly influential in the global electronics manufacturing industry.
He was named "Man of the Year" in 1997 by Time magazine, and he has been described as "the guy who drove the growth phase” in Silicon Valley.
'Dear Mark Timletts, I am writing to enquire about the credits to our account for the replaced stock of cards and also the Mothers Day and Easter cards which were returned.
We have credit request notes for £81.50 dated the 28/3/96, for £59.52 dated 17/4/96 and for £80.08 dated 17/4/96, the latter of which includes a handwritten note to say that two further credits will be processed over the next two months.
We have been credited with none of these amounts and you will appreciate that with a difficult cash flow as we build up the business this delay is quite critical to us.
I have previously contacted your credit control department at Dewsbury, and was told of a computer breakdown which was holding up these payments.
However, I should be grateful if you could follow up this matter and ensure that the credits are made as soon as possible.
There also seems to be the matter of the further credits to be processed. Have credit request notes been issued for these?
