This is only along the lines of powerful computers (or not).  
On the other hand, an F-15E (fighter-bomber), elite mulit-role aircraft of
the USAF, has a 386 for it's central computer (CC). It handles
communication between radar, navigation, counter-measures (ICMS), flight
control and a few others. 
To the point... isnt it scary that we depend on 386's to preserve our air
superiority, and people quibble about mega-computers (or so-called). (The
irony of it all...)
Just a thought...
