- Ahem. Those of us who make a living supporting RISC machines (PA-RISC
- in my case) tend to disagree. Quantity =/ Quality... The P5 (I refuse
- to use the Pent*%$ word...) is a step in the right direction, but since
- my PA-RISC system is beyond even that step, there's not much to be said
- for even the P5...
-

- As for the Alpha, it is a real screamer, but given the fact that it
- comes from DEC (and is rumored to have VMS in microcode (BLEAH!)) I
- don't see that it has much future.
