As usual all of the above was very informative and enlightening
to me, thanks :)
}- The PC-MSDOS-CP/M approach is definitely a step in the right

}- true ANALOG neural-net computer ( *NOT* a digital simulation
}- of one ) becomes reality.
I have always heard that "analog computers are impossible" and
that they would be HUGE... Could you explain what the difference
between an analog and a digital computer is, and why they would
be impossible?
