Right, I talked about that possibility at the end of my message.  But now
that I think about it, I can't decide what the next architecture for
them to take on should be.  PPC?  Sparc?  Alpha?  Which would make the
most sense financially for Transmeta?

It is quite conceivable that any effort they might put in that direction
might make them more money if spent instead on broadening and otherwise
improving their line of x86-targetted processors.
