What's next?  I don't think its 64 bit micros, but how about 36 bits?  I
think we will see LSI implementations of some popular architectures from the
60's-70's.  What about IBM 360 type architectures.  I heard IBM was making
a micro right now that emulated some larger IBM architecture.  DEC is making
a LSI vax, but how about an LSI pdp-10?  

Watch out hexadecimal, the octal microprocessors are coming!
