when the PDP 11 first came out, that was the first time I wanted a computer
for myself at home, the earlier ones that I knew of had too cockeyed and
limited instruction sets, after my programming experience being on
mainframes with CISC instructions. I actually thought about how much
sacrifice it would take to buy one.

and did the very best with what you could do in 16 bits!
