I've been at the dark side for last couple of years, there are a lot of 
good wariors out there, don't need me too...

it's a trap!
you think one microsecond here, one there, nobody notices. And suddenly 
you need 3GHz quad core processor to open plain ASCII editor in less 
than a minute from power up. I'll stop this rant now...

Anyway, I agree that EG is excellent example of where low-end micros can 
be used and it still sounds as analog as it can be heard. And it's a 
matter of taste if you like bunch of logic more than a single chip. This 
is not Design For Manufacturability, it's DIY...

yeah! And I'm sure your code is as elegant as it can be. It's fun to see 
so many ways of doing the same thing.
