RE: [T3] FI vs Carburetion.


OK, I still haven't corrected that!  I never thought of anything Analog as a
"Computer" so I always called it a control unit.  Ill correct that in the
FAQ  :)

  Everything centers around the control unit, NO
> its NOT a computer

I really can't let this one pass. The D-Jet brain IS a computer; it's 
just not a digital computer. Analog computers are fine for lots of 
things like this and that's exactly what we have here. It's also the 
only thing that anyone could have done in 1967 and still have it fit 
in a car.

I met my first digital computer in 1964, and it weighed about as much 
as a type 3, even though it was considered a small computer for its 
time....
