lulz How far computers have come in a decade.Quote:
Despite the low price, the 300-MHz Pentium II Wingen, which is Computer City's house brand, is no slouch when it comes to components. The machine comes with 32MB of memory, a large 6.4GB hard drive from Western Digital, a 24X CD-ROM, and a 56-kbps modem, according to Computer City sales representatives.
In 10 years, this (current) stuff will look like a joke.
Moore's law, anyone?
I do love reading old articles about "current technology" - they're always good for a laugh and a wonder about how the hell the original programmers managed to get EVERYTHING in so little space.
People used to think that the internet was a quickly passing phase - look where it is today. :D
Thats what they'll say about our software soon. :lol:Quote:

Makes one wonder what other seemingly crazy method will be used for future microchips. (I've heard IBM is thinking of using carbon nanotubes and DNA connections...)
