:)

talk about missing the point.  You said you know something about hardware
design, then talk about gate delays as if all I can do is tie one gate to
another in a long singular line.  I pointed out that this is wrong.  And
tried to explain how I can do *real complicated* things in those 40nano
second cycles of a DB processor, because I don't think just "vertical"
I also think "horizontal".

and then you say "can't put that many gates on a chip".

jeez... :)
