I think Ted is ignoring some very important aspects of the neural network.
It seems that we will be looking more and more towards parallel processing
in order to increase our computing power.  But, solving problems on a parallel
machine leads to really *big* complications in how to structure the program.
Simulating a neural network on a parallel machine is something that it is
beautifully suited for, though.  With more computing power, we can begin
to solve more types of problems that would have previously taken much to
long to do on today's von-Neumann (sp?) computers.
