I don't see people trying to interface to their pocket calculator "because it's wasting cycles!" I don't see people trying to interface to their TI speak & spell "because it's wasting cycles!" I don't see people trying to interface to their stereo receiver "because it's wasting cycles!" I don't see people trying to interface to their car, even though the latest GM products contain a decent multiprocessor with ~11 CPUs, "because it's wasting cycles!" I don't see people trying to interface to their microwave ovens, to their stoves, or to a myriad of other dumb home appliances, "because they're wasting cycles!" I don't see people trying to run LISP on their epson home printer, "because it's wasting cycles!" So hands off with that laserprinter, ok? Ok!
