He must not remember the early developement of the 68000 processors.....

They WERE designed with downward compatibility to the 6809, and 6800 uP's. So
why is Intel braindamaged, and Motorola not ? Some gift of God ? Of course,
we should not fail to mention that VAX's are all crap too, and all are archaic
technology, so we should shun them like the plague !!!! Long live GOULD, Rah !
