The Motorloa 88000 the processor of the future? 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!
