Right. But lots of interconnected smaller ones could give you extreme redundancy, and if the option to network 20 of them for +1 Complexity were ported in from TS or wherever, you could have a viable backup for the "ordinary" compact computer otherwise controlling the c-suit.
The stick-on general purpose computer is another application for printed computers. Instead of V-tags stored on a server somewhere, you can give every item and place of interest a localized, self-updating tag that can be queried without gear or an uplink. "Wrench tag, when were you used last?" "Unused since tag was installed." "Under-the-table tag, can you verify?" "Negative; tagged wrench was moved about the room last night from 0312 to 0320 and again from 0541 to 0543."
