Funny, I thought POWER was the acronym IBM used to refer to the CPU
architecture in the RS/6000. (No, I can't remember what it stands for.)
Hence the PowerPC initiative with Motorola and Apple, to pack all that
functionality onto one chip, so it's fit to use in a PC instead of a UNIX
box.

I have a thing about almost any human-computer interaction technique that
starts with the word "cognitive". They always seem to me far too intellectual
and likely to miss the gestalt of what is going on.       -- Bruce Tognazzini
