I think that's completely unworkable.
In the next room I have a machine. It has a GUI, a mouse, bitmapped
display, networking, and so on. Sounds like something close to the modern
mainstram, yes? Well, I think it's a classic computer by any reasonable
standard. Or do people object to PERQs now ;-).
Most modern computers have winchester hard disks. Does that mean that
discussions of the SA4000 series are now off-topic?
This is just... well... nuts. Anyone who would think that I am saying a Perq
is objectionable, or that SA400 stuff is off-topic... is either being silly,
or just stating something that obviously isn't what I said in order to
support objections.
