See my post at #10 - the supercomputer needed “only” 29 hours vs. 103 days for the PC. Still, an interesting achievement for the PC but still light years behind the supercomputer.

Ya. My antiquated stuff might get it done in a few years if it had enough storage, but so what?

I did finally get around to installing Fedora 12 (LXDE spin) a couple days ago on both my laptop and netbook and I'm liking it. It is quite snappy - this distro may even (for the first time in my experience) give Windoze a run for it's money - but it's not that snappy.

Well...let’s compare the cost of the supercomputer vs the cost of the desktop...
