  The fact that there are people on this list who use kit other than
x86, SPARC, and MIPS is testament to the fact that no one architecture
fits all possible needs.  Each has its place in the cosmic order of

   Of course now that we're headed down the rathole of a "microprocessor
monoculture" all that wonderful variety will eventually be lost.  Damn.
