Tom,

Forgive me for butting in with my first Universal Thread message from nowhere, but was it the 68000 that was graphic based? I thought that the Mac's advantages lay in the machine architecture and not the processor chip. True, the 68000 was had none of the archaeological features of the 80x86 but it still died first, from a design accident - its op code structure made pipelining impossible. So Apple went to RISC. From what I have read of the Crusoe, maybe the end is nigh for the Intel family?

I hope that I am not in breach of etiquette
