	As an assembler hacker, I prefer the '86 family; it lets me get
down and dirty, and my code is usually much faster than on a 68K. On
the other hand, my friends who do compiler work wish Intel would fall off
into an tar pit somewhere. The 68K is much easier to build a code-
generator for. So, which is better depends very much on your definition
of better. What are you going to be doing with it?
