Lately I've been keeping up with the 68K/286 debates, and I started
wondering just who really uses what. Obviously some folks chose the
processor they work with because it its architecture ("I work with it
because I like it.") and others just happen to like the one they work
with ("I like it because I work with it.") while still others have no
choice in the matter ("I work with it because I have to!")
Having avoided the debates, I'd like to know just what the general
consensus is out there. Which chip do you prefer? I guess we should
keep the poll centered on the 68K and the 286. If you care to respond,
drop me a note stating which you prefer (not necessarily the one you
work with), and why. I think it would be interesting to see what the
general feeling is, not just the opinions (albeit educated opinions)
of a few net.micro wizards. If I get any responses I'll post the
results. I promise to be honest no matter how much it hurts. ;-)
No, this won't settle anything, I know that. But I'm curious, and I'll
bet a lot of other folks are, too.
