That was the same route that TNE took as well. In general space is
pretty hard on computer hardware, so it tends to be lower tech
(Relatively within concurrent tech) with lots of redundancy i.e. the
result voting/comparison output system. But with all that computers in
Starcraft are not that remarkable unless the PCs soup theirs up.
