 Look, you retarded fucktard, the industry on whole has been using
 microprocessors in electronic products for decades now, and that
 includes the audio/video consumer electronics market.
 
 You would have a hard time giving me an advanced product that
 doesn't have a CPU and RTOS, OS, or firmware running it.  This one has
 a sharc CPU in it.  So it is NOT a PC, you stupid jackass.
 
 So get off your retarded, know nothing high horse, cause your
 springs are rusting.
