  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  :)
