| OneTime said: LOL. The 68000 was an excellent chip! After the 68060, everyone moved to PowerPC which did eventually morph into bits of the Cell. At this point, though, there isn't really "magic stuff" that you can do with custom hardware that would be cheaper than just sticking two commodity hardware equivalents in one box. It's a shame, because hardware design used to be really creative. Now it's really just PC parts with bigger numbers. |
To be fair, those "just PC parts" have evolved quite a bit to handle special tasks almost as efficiently as special hardware. And they're easily scalable by just cramming in more stuff in ever smaller processes.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
