[edit] Cheap CPU's?

After just watching the Star Wars Original Trilogy Bonus DVD's Empire of Dreams documentary, I recall Dykstra saying in an interview that they had to make the motion control camera system from scratch, computer and all. Also, PCs were just finding their way to market (with the introduction of the Apple II in 1977). I'm finding it very doubtful that cheap microprocessors were available off of the shelves at this time. I'm not sure what the source of this info was, so I haven't changed it as of yet. As an aside, I apologize if I haven't quite formatted this post correctly. I'm sort of a newbie. Jedimatt 04:11, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
