Well stated. I particularly like the Open Standards Computer part. Isn't the Spark CPU's an open standars arch? Just a thought :) Perhaps a pipe dream, but just imagine the possibilities! Now an Open Standards Computer would give me personally something to work very hard at obtaining! Believe me im not making light of the tremendous amount of work that such an undertaking would require. Still what a dream come true if it did happen. In a totally alternate non-reality, how about reverse engineering the Alpha and reviving it from the dead. You want to talk about a fanatical following... /shrug.
The Alpha was sweet, but in large part because the design, layout, and routing were done largely by hand. A human designer can always do a better job than a EDA tool, but will always take much longer to do it. This is one of the reasons why Alphas were so expensive. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
