Jimminy Crickets!  Is that why they use C to write almost all of the
software for IBM RS/6000, the Motorola 88000 based machines (DG Aviion
and Tektronix WS)?  Hmm, I wonder why C works so well on those machines
that have segmented architectures.  Perhaps it could be that they are
workstations while the lowly 8086 is only used in a PC 8^)?

Or maybe the fact that the majority of the compilers out there are
written in C (ok, so some of them are still written in Assembler)
means that they are also using the wrong language 8-)).

I delight in pulling the tiger's tail 8^))).
