More 8088 motherboard fun- IBM conspiracy?

[anheier]

Here's an image of a set of C8087 coprocessors pulled from the same stack of 8088 mothers (see message below). Note the serial numbers of the IBM and Intel coprocessors. The two IBMs are sequential (L6130020, L6130021). The Intel serial number follows 14 sequences later (L6130035). Seems these were made in the same factory on the same day. Interesting, no?
