And does it perfectly... on the first try... at zero cost. :)

The ideal CPU/uC/whatver has one instruction and requires no RAM or ROM.
The instruction is 10Gbit wide and is self modifying so it can do anything
from four-function calcualtions to play chess. <-- I didn't think that one
up originally. Although that was 20 yrs ago and the number we used was
1Mbit. LOL!

If it weren't for Bill Gates we'd all be running 500MHz 80286s and
Desqview and be stable as a rock. <-- I -did- say that ~15 yrs ago when
386/40 was the edge of the cut. By today we'd have been up to a couple of
Ts. And still just as stable :/

Have a :) day!
