But John,
There already IS a successor to the Pegasus. In development, they called it
the Pegasus FP, but we now know it as the Jupiter.
You don't need a computer to run the Jupiter. You can sit down in front of
it and operate it via the good old fashioned Front Panel.
So go have fun. And don't worry about being "digitally challenged."
