Bart, PMFJI but —
>> I can only agree. The only thing I wanted to make clear is that 8-bit *as
such* has nothing to do with it. You are of course when you say that an 8-bit
machine *may* lack the horsepower. It doesn't need to. If I recall it well, the
connection machine uses only 4-bits processors and yet is one of the, if not
the, most powerful computers in existance.
Yes, the CM only uses 4-bit processors, however it uses 65,536 of them in
parallel. If not for the 'n-cube' architecture, you could call it a 256k-bit
machine. 8-{)
