Re: "Elmer, do you really think Intel would be anything more than a second tier calculator chip and RAM manufacturer if IBM had selected the 68000 for the IBM PC instead of the 8088?" Dan what's the point of this? History is full of "what ifs"? Do you really think life on earth would be the same if frozen water was dark instead of reflective white or what if a neutron was unstable? What if Roosevelt had heeded the warning that the Japanese were going to bomb Pearl Harbor or Hitler hadn't been sleeping and the orders to move troops to defend against the D-Day invasion hadn't been delayed? What if the Inca's hadn't been afraid of horses or Columbus had made a wrong turn? What if the Supreme Court had ruled that the Emancipation Proclamation had no legal grounds (which it didn't)? What if???? EP
