General religious wars (was Re: Editor religious wars)

I keep thinking it was the 6520 or 6522 processor in the 1541
which had the cool dual-clock ability.
1/2 a clock running as one mode, the other 1/2 as another mode,
technically running two instructions at once. so to speak.

I don't think we've seen this type of tech since then.
