Paul,

I'm not arguing whether Intel won for a good reason or not.. Time to market is very important in the high-tech industry and you will never get an argument there.. I was only saying "IF" (and yes that's a big if) the 68000 had been where we started I personally feel we would have been better off.. hell if Intel had really planned on the 8086 being followed on like this we would be a lot better off, but no one at the time expect the IBM PC to really take off like it did, including IBM by their own admission.

Steve
