And I think there was a similar article that said something like the old 286-12 computers had more power than the computers on the Apollo missions.

Oh hell, your digital watch has more processing power than those old Apollo IBM computers.

I didn't realize they were so low-powered - or that the digital watches had that much ooomph. Know of any equivalents or what system they used?
