No BillW, That's not impressive.=20 I did all that with a pair of EF88 valves back in the 70's, now THAT is impressive.

Meh. No longer considered impressive. These days you have to be able to decode highly compressed video (H.264?) to HDMI at 1920x1080, while simultaneously doing stereo CD-quality sound and eye tracking via image processing of 2MP video input. And running a couple billion iterations of a AES256 birthday attack because that's your homework assignment.
