	With this (as well as other "foreign processors")
	we can see old words:

	"It's outside US, it threatens us"

	or

	"It's outside US, it's not serious, propably some student
	 project"

	We saw ARM dropped out from RISC list, although it's
	first commercial RISC.

	TRON is forgotten.

	Have you heard about Philips 68070, or Hitachi H-series?

	Is transputer known to You?
