Steve, is this the same Glen Myers who said:  "Ones eyebrows should rise
whenever a future architecture is developed with a register-oriented
instruction set?"  [Comp. Arch. News, Aug 1977, pp. 7-10]  Perhaps he
was quoted out of context; he actually meant the eyebrows should rise
in delight?  :-) :-)  Just kidding, I know we all say things we regret
(I certainly have!).  I just found it interesting that he should be
involved at all with such a register-intensive architecture!
