You obviously missed the memo describing how these new processors have
abandoned the use of binary bits for trinary "trits". By moving to the new
trinary standard which registers positive, negative and neutral electric
charge per "trit", entirely new features are possible.

===> One of the first machines I worked on used "decs", not
puny "bits" or "trits". It seems that we are slowly working ourselves
up to the level of 1960. Still have another factor 3.3333.. to go
though.   :-)

Seriously, none of this, not faster floating point Vern, are needed
for fractional LPARs. But, as long as nobody will tell us the real
truth behind this, this whole discussion is at best amusing.
Where did I hear years ago, that "interactive feature" was
hardware? even came on or needed a special "decelerator"
hardware card...  :-)
