Agreed. Can we please talk about video processiong on classic hardware, 
like the PPL hard disks (FM analogue recording, one field per track, 3 
separate tracks for R,G,B) or the I2S Image processors (the oldest one I 
have contains over 3000 4Kbit DRAMs, and about the same number of logic 
chips on top...). These weren't of course, used for real-time video 
processiong, but I am pretty sure they were used for frame-by-frame 
animations, etc. And they're gettign on for 25 years old now, so they're 
on-topic...
