OK, I meant digitally controlled by the microprocessor. I design analog
integrated circuits at Linear Technology where we prefer to distinguish
ourselves from mere 1's and 0's, but then again, I gave up my triple log
scale slide rule years ago for an HP-35, and I have not yet determined
whether my noggin is stepless, discrete, quantized, linear, continuous,
deterministic, or chaotic... certainly not intelligent, but possibly conscious
at times...
