Am I the only one who ever heard about the Acorn Risc chip and there computer 'Archimedes', or do all of you ignore this machine just because it is a small (british) company which manufactures strange computers (BBC). I do not own an Archimedes, but I like the machine -> it is cheap, fast, Hi-res lots of memory. What I like to know: How does this newsgroup think about this machine (chip). Herman Adriani. P.S. I don't want to start a new war about RISC or CISC, I like both architectures and they should excist both!!!. They just have there won territory in which they outperform the other one. Don't flame me about starting something, I just wanna know (everything). -- _____________________________________________________________________________ / \ | Herman Adriani & Alfred Kayser: Computer fans especially from 24 pm to 7 am | \_____________________________________________________________________________/
