- Okay, good point. Why replace the DSP when you don't have to. If removing
- it would lower the cost of the NeXT, then do it, but otherwise, sure, keep
- it there. Still a good idea to have a main processor fast enough to do all
- the jobs, just in case lightning strikes the DSP factory and burns it down or
- something. :D
- My other points still stand, though. I do have one other thing I'd like to
- add. I also wish that the chip they choose be one made here in America. We
- have enough of the computer manufacturing going to the Far East, let's not
- throw more wood on the fire. The more business we keep in America, the better
- we will be, I think.
- This is my last post here, until I either get another mainframe account on
- the PSU computers, or until I get a NeXT and connect to Internet.
- Thank you for the interesting posts and lively debates.
- Nate :)
