I wasn’t with Raytheon, I was IN the US Air Force. 22 years.
But I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying.
I worked on main frame computers systems that spanned three stories and had a whopping 1 Megabyte of core memory, which had to be cooled by copper water pipes.
Yet the computer I’m using right now has 32 GB of RAM.
We’ve come a long way, baby!
Thanks for your service.
What’s even more ‘frightening’ about the advance of technology is not that your desktop has 32gb of RAM... but that you can get a tablet with 32gb, and it’s aircooled.
