Computers have become practically an American monopoly. Though regretably we no longewr build them here, just design them.

Yet INTEL seemed very keen to buy up RISC technology along with Cambridge Technologies (AKA Acorn).

The Ramjet UK 1930's

Ramjet? You have to be kidding. How could Whittle bench-test a Ramjet? It was a normally aspirated jet engine he developed, even before the Germans. Granted they were the first to fly a jet-powered aircraft.

Where ? Controled sustainable fusion?

Yes, thanks, we did indeed have the first commercial nuclear power station.

What you meant then, was "fission" NOT "fussion". There is a BIG difference. Nuclear power plants currently generate electricity by FISSION not FUSION. The first controlled fission reaction BTW, was under Enrico Fermi in 1943 I believe during the "manhattan Project" that developed the A bomb

RISC technology has been in dvelopment simultaneously both here and alsewhere. However, it has yet to show great promise in general applications, though some RISC architecture is being used in the latest batches of CPU's. It has yet to break through in consuler oriented PC's and applications.
