Hallelujah, but your story goes for everything PC related.

My first PC I used was a 4,77MHz 5Mb IBM.

The first one I owned had 20Mb and a 8088 processor with 768k ram.
Compared to that one now my processor is at least 500x faster that that 8088 ,
my internal memory alone is 13x bigger than that HD and my current hard disk has
800x more space on it. I'm already looking for a new one.


In fact I'm very happy with those developments, removing the notion of finality.
Why should there be bnoundaries in these respect?

You make it sound like we're spoiled brats ;) but maybe we are looking for
advancement and better solutions until even the best solution will be the past.

Sometimes you meet your match, but most of the times I'm happy frontiers are
shifted everytime we try to reach them.

Let's boldly go where no one else has gone before.

Jeroen ;-}
