“The truth is both fascinating and disappointing. It’s unlikely we’ll be playing Grand Theft Auto VR8K-3000 on a quantum-souped Playstation 7 any time soon. Sorry, folks.”

My father has a 32 bit core memory board from a computer he worked on.
It sits a few inches away from a multi-terabyte system capable of running virtual reality.

Don’t underestimate how fast & far everything can change.

Introducing that in between part means letting in the subtle.

And as we learn from Genesis 3:1, subtle is a sign of evil.
