There are processors available with programmable microcode, ie they can run
either i86 or m68k _natively_. What have you got when youve got your Qx0 or
your QPC2vx running on one of those? At this point the argument becomes
irrelevant - or rather, its irrelevance becomes apparent, because this
discussion is simply about different, but valid, approaches, and the one is
not more "real" than the other. A dedicated QLer should probably have both!
