For the programmers and their business, it might be enough. Faster hardware
might double that elo point.
But for me it's far from enough. Whatever I ever will like to have, must be now.
I don't have a thrill of spending the rest of my life seeing the unfolding of
history about this particular matter. I wouldn't even want to spend more than
half an hour watching it unfold in a film. Certainly not a 20-year film.   In 20
years from now I hope to be long retired from being a GM, not just ready to
start training to be one with the great programs.
Get it?
