    It should be an option, not a requirement.

      Underpowered? It's an 800Mhz ARM CPU, surely to fuck it can do a little text processing on 150 character tweets.

      I'm guessing top-end mainframes didn't achieve that kind of CPU power until the late 80s.

      Back in the day, ftp.cdrom.com pushed ~1TB a day from one 200-MHz P6 Pentium Pro.

      Now get of my lawn.
