Can't you apply that same question to pretty much any old technology?


   Hmm.. I wonder what would have happened had VAX continued on the path 
   and then did what all of the other processors had to do get more 
   through-put, go multi-core with more front-end cache...

   Hmm.. I wonder what would have happened had PDP-11 continued on the path 
   and then did what all of the other processors had to do get more 
   through-put, go multi-core with more front-end cache...
