Dave,

There are physical laws that can not be violated.  Right now we have teraflop
"big iron" computers. I am not sure though that we can keep up the pace of
doubling that we have been seeing.

I remember when we had 6502 processors and I told Steve Schwartz about plans for
a 25 Mhz processor and he could not believe it.  Now it seems like we expect the
pace of technology to accelerate.

I am in agreement with Bill Gates and I do not put much importance in PCs or
computers in general.  They will not solve our problems of overpopulation, lack
of health resources or endless wars.
