A friend pointed out something interesting:  there is a job ad in net.jobs,
from National, asking for... RISC people!  CMOS chip designers, computer
architects, compiler people, Unix-porting people.  Sounds serious.

Just how is this going to affect the existing 32000 line?  Compatibility is
obviously out, or they wouldn't be hiring compiler and Unix people.  Has
National decided to make a fresh start and abandon the mistakes of the past?
(Undoubtedly the existing products will be "fully supported"... for a little
while...)
