Another architecture I really liked was the PowerPC, but I never
actually wrote code for it. I was sad to see Apple abandon it.

Intel's Itanium is incredibly complicated and has not seemed to catch
on.  So we are stuck with the Intel architecture which was essentially
nailed down at the time of the XT.  It needs a major overhaul.
