Just a joke . . .

I believe it is but not all do.  Then again, I dont worry about low
bit-rate applications.

I think most of the resource limitations are actually self-imposed.

I also dont think that your arguments take into account the economic
impact of having to develop all that specialized code for specialized
environments.   However, going down the economic rat hole is not what
I intended.

Absolutely not!  (That, is Andy's job)!  I've enjoyed this discussion.
What I was trying to say (politely but apparently not effectively :)
is that if you had mentioned the details earlier in the discussion, I
would have understood your arguments *a lot* faster.

That is, until you mentioned low-power, low-bitrate, environments, I
basically was puzzled by your assertions.  Once I understood them, I
then understood your argument.  One could argue that I should have put
my assumptions on the table sooner.  I thought I had.

Thanks,

Bobby
