     RISC is many things to many people. For sales and marketing people,
     it stands for Revolutionary Improved Speed Computer. The definition,
     I like the most,  stands for- Relegates Important Stuff to Compilers.


     I forgot the other insightful definitions that the speaker at Stanford
     gave.
