Now, John, you've already succeeded in ruining the credibility of the 88000; must you rub it in? (For those who haven't noticed, DEC approached Motorola about second- sourcing the MIPS chip. Reports claim that Motorola was getting pretty serious about this, until they decided it showed a lack of confidence in their own RISC processor. Motorola is now making loud "firmly committed" noises.) -- -Colin (uunet!microsof!w-colinp)
