This. And Moore's law has nothing to do with why development happened. It simply predicted the rate at which it would occur.

Ain't he the guy who keeps making me upgrade every 2 years? Maybe now that his law is hittin' the wall, I can spend money on something else, like my car and house. No wonder Gordon is worth almost 7 billion - we all have computers that are much faster than the NASA mainframes during most of the space program. Remember when storage was measured in kilobytes and megabytes? I now have over 11 terabytes in my PC, and 9 more on external drives. The plumbing and wiring in my water-cooled rig is more complicated than a Russian-made atomic bomb, and even less likely to explode. How did it it all get so out of control? Thanks, Gordy!
