Who, me, hard to please?  What a ridiculous idea!  This is a preposterous
suggestion!!  Rave, rant, froth, foam...     :-):-):-)

Believe it or not, there actually are machines I don't have complaints
about.  A few.  The Berkeley RISC design is one; I admire it a lot.  I
was groping towards something similar myself six or seven years ago (as
were others), but I never did solve some problems that the Berkeley folks
have handled very nicely.  I wish it was commercially available, with the
necessary support goodies.
