Subject: No more Intel Bashing.

Well, I started it all, but I just wrote something really neat that will
say something to those who have been railing on CP/M unfairly...


Z80 is almost as intel as non-intels can ever get, too.  The point is
that we are all in the same boat.  No one processor is absolutely
superior to another - they all have their bells and whistles.

Intel's bells just happened to be "not my style."  What is important
is not the quality of the processor inherently, but how they are
used - that's why people say "I love my PC, PS/2, Mac, CP/M,
Unix, etc." and not "80C88-2, 32016, Z80B, 68020, TMS320C30, etc."

I have my own preferences - I do plan to some day become rich and
powerful and make my dream-processor come true by taking over
T.I., Intel, Motorola, and ALL!!!!  But, hey, I like my Z80, and,
you don't hit on my processor, I don't hit on your processor.
Besides, I am a philosophy major.  I will never be able to afford
Intel, not to mention a 386 machine....
