Actually, I think the computer manufacturers have had tghe desire to make
things seem simpler by putting as few things as possible on the front of the
CPUs.  IBM did it, Sperry did it, most micros have done it.  The idea is
that they are not needed and they tend to intimidate non-hackers.  DEC has
been making their computers look more IBMish lately so they went that way too.
