Creationists take note. This is evolution in action. :o) When I look at my
old Amstrad PC1640 with a 8086 in it, and then at my trusty i486, I begin
to wonder how I did manage in the dark old days. ;o)

I've been told that the Merced will be a departure from the x86
architecture. Can't wait to see what it will be like. I sure as hell hope
it'll be as elegant as the Motorola 680x0.

Cheers,
Alex
