Who cares who makes the CPU? If you're programming in a real language and a
real operating system the CPU is just another resource. What color it's painted
is no more important than the company that manufactures the case.

One big reason I got an Amiga is that it was the first personal computer that
didn't force me into writing assembly. Now, people still do that, but that's
their problem. They'll be first against the wall when the revolution comes.
