People buy new computers for a reason. As computers
fail, anyone who wants a new one, will only have
one choice - 8-bit CPU. Or to shoot their neighbor
and take his.

As time goes by, there will be no more neighbors to
shoot.

Anyhow, again, if you're 100% certain that there's
an infinite supply of neighbors to shoot, that's
fine, I'm not saying you're wrong.

But, as a hypothetical, if you are wrong, then can
we have a discussion of the 8 to 16 to 32 migration
path?

Yes, in the hercules-380 group I discussed solar power
as well, and based on their recommendation bought some
to try. It's tough to power even just my smartphone.

Luckily my smartphone now runs the beginning of MSDOS,
natively. The main thing I'm missing is sign-off on
the standards.
