> It is a great shame that Compaq and HP mis-managed this architecture to > the point of obselesence - totally criminal IMHO. The criminal part is that Inthell stole (yes stole) technology from DEC. DEC could have, and should have, shut Inthell down, but what's-his-name wimped out. One has to wonder what happened under the table. > As it was - I (only just) migrated to x86 kit (at least it's low power!) There's AMD64, with DEC technology that was obtained legally and morally.
