Every computer today made is already a million times more powerful than a vchip.

You don't need to insert a vchip into a computer - just tell the computer with a snippet of instruction, ideally put into the browser software, to read the ratings tags we already put on our pages. (hell, this already exists, it's just that parents don't know how to set their computers to safe surfing. Solution? Every computer can be sold _already set_ to kidsafe surfing, and the adult has to turn on adult surfing.)

The reason the old style TVs needed a chip put in is that they had no brains, no processing power. We already have all the processing power we need to do a vchips job in every computer.
And yet, there is a vchip in my brand new sony grand wega. Not just special programming in the TV itself but an actual chip.
