Chuck Peddle himself made this comment about the 6502 (PDP-11 like).
If you remember that far back, surely you know who Chuck Peddle is.
When they designed the 6502, they didn't have the technology to put
a PDP on a single chip.  The 6502 was much closer to the ideals of
the 6502 than its predecessors.  The 68000 came out *FOUR* years later.
Of course it's better.  The 6502 was great at the time.
Personally, I feel that this discussion is beginning to border on
animosity.  If you want to continue, send it via E-MAIL.  There's no
need to let tempers flair on the network (At least *I* refuse to
stoop so low or get too involved in such a discussion on everyone
else's time).
So if you want to discuss it, E-MAIL me.  Let's not bore everyone else
to tears.
