Keep your day job. Judge you ain't.

No, I'm still saving for one, but my trailer keeps leaking and I gotta buy beer
for the baby...

No, it won't. The fact that something can be done with a microprocessor doesn't
mean it will be or that it's a prudent thing to do. Can openers and remote
antenna switch-boxes fall into the same category. I'm sure you could design a
toilet bowl that runs on the RISC platform. The question is "why", not "why
not".

Can't afford that either. Baby also needs smokes.

That is irrelevant to the issue in question. I know of many amateurs who do not
need amplifiers. Don't you ?
