So it looks like Macintosh are already placing even bets on whether
CISC can keep up with RISC.  If they're already starting on an
88k based Macintosh, perhaps C= should at least be showing some 
interest.

So what would we want a RISC Amiga to be based on, 88k? Sparc? i860? MIPS?
What about compatibility with existing software? 

I doubt C= have the money to devote any time to a RISC amiga when they
seem to be having problems finding resources to devote to their
existing Amiga products...
