 		 #137707 - why?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
it'd better be a really cheap MCU

the screen itself is quite expensive, so what if the MCU cost $5

saving on the oregano ($0.10) when you have $20 worth of steak makes no sense.

                           not likely ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                              sure, but what problem is that            01/01/70 00:00      
               It's the demand for precise timing            01/01/70 00:00

                     He may be a bit misguided            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Ive used an spi interface            01/01/70 00:00      
                     This is the arbitary display overlay jobby            01/01/70 00:00      
      A NICE VIDEO GENERATING AND PROCESSING EXAMPLE!!            01/01/70 00:00      
         Is it VGA?            01/01/70 00:00      
   Video Buffer            01/01/70 00:00      
      and a "video DAC"            01/01/70 00:00      
         Well there are ways and ways ....            01/01/70 00:00      
            but VGA is twice as fast            01/01/70 00:00

                  If the MCU can\'t do it all ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     how about this one            01/01/70 00:00

                              why?            01/01/70 00:00      
                        the guy who pays for it would notice.            01/01/70 00:00      
                           why?            01/01/70 00:00      
                              The extra MCU contributes nothing. Why use it?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 because            01/01/70 00:00

                                       sure, but            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          True, but only sometimes ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             HUH?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                so ... which MCU has those built in?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                   those?            01/01/70 00:00
