That reads like a cold-war-era supercomputer.

One could power a space program with such a computer.

This is nothing. In 25 years, you will have a computer 100 times as powerful as this sitting on your wristwatch.

Just remember: your average PDA has more total computing power than every computer system on an Apollo launch vehicle. And that includes the command and lunar modules. Yet, 35 years later, we're still farting around in low Earth orbit.

There's a conspiracy theory for you to chew on.

You know, Saddam had guys buying up Playstation One's when they came out in hopes of making a missile defense network out of them. Never heard if he had any success with that.

If you notice this thing's specs read pretty close to a good computer's. Thats why I quit buying console systems - I assembled a multimedia computer. If you like the old school games you can install the M.I.M.E. program (if your familiar with programing concepts) or just suscribe to the free "Console Classix" service. That one lets you play Atari 2600 and 16-bit Nintendo titles free while the Genesis and Super Nintendo titles are available for a small fee. No Atari 5200 the last I checked (Space Dungeon ruled!).

What to do with the Nintendo Classic, Sega Genesis, 3DO, and Playstation in the storage room? I figure they'll all be new again as I descend into inevitable senility!
