This is not the burger-flipping option, is it ? Cutting computers out is 
seldom a solution imho, but 'using computers' very rarely implies 
something that resembles a PC. Advantage: no m$ inside. I am talking 
about embedded systems. Please consider this seriously. Embedded 
computers and automatons outnumber PCs by something like 20:1 at a net 
value that is not necessarily lower than the PC's even in the lowliest 
cases (due to aggregate value).
