For Motorola maybe. But hey, the Sun 4 with 10 MIPS performance is here NOW, using the SPARC architecture. And other companies are supporting SPARC, too. Last I heard, the 88000 was still a pipe dream. So why not the MacSPARC? Or while we're at it, why not let the guys at Apple finish designing their own RISC chip. Heck, we could have Quickdraw in micro-code! Scott Storkel Macintosh Software Development Rice University
