Well, if you take apart a modern CPU, you will find it has 3 or 4 nearly identical units called "Arethmitic Logic Units" -- which are glorified adding machines, and these four ALUs process every piece of data in main memory. To get a whole computer, you need a memory and a control unit and damn little else. -- Opera: Sing it loud! :o( )>-< ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=4007604&id_secret=27090503-5f2c57
