For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
IOW, whatever Intel speeds up, Microsoft will slow down.
It all balances out, ying and yang.

Who's gonna string this stuff? In 2010, there will be millions of Americans with 100 GHz computers, tens of terabytes of storage, 40 inch plasma screens - still connecting via 33k dialup.

As an avid gamer...all this means to me at 48 years old, that instead of being continually beat by a 15 year old...I will now be beaten by someone in the womb.
Woman at Supermarket checkout: I'm pregnant!
My reply: I resign.

It'll make no difference as long as the speed limit stays at 55 (25 at school zones.)!

I'm not really complaining. I remember distinctly telling my wife in the mid-80s that a home computer might be cool, but I really couldn't think of any use for one.

"arithematic" Word has perfect syntax.
It applies however to either breathing or birth control funcitons, not binary code.
