    Alpha is gone, PA-RISC is going, what's going to be left? MIPS? SPARC? AMD? Crusoe?

    Zilog, of course! The greatest CPU to ever go without MUL/DIV intructions. It's a wonder it's not used in more modern computers. If it's good enough for your Gameboy and you calculator, it's good enough for your desktop, I say.

    ...Now If only I could find a Linux distro for my TRS-80...

    Because this is /. and the 'editors' apparently, while picking stories from the submissions bin, give priority to summaries that have an anti-microsoft, anti-government, anti-intel, anti-[insert the rest here] slant.

    They get more page hits that way.

    I used to take /. story summaries with a grain of salt. Now I have one of those water softener blocks next to my PC.
