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!
