What I find amusing is that the current 4 core desktop computer is more that a supercomputer from 1980. Why aren't we able to run all of the oh so cool things that ran on the supercomputers 30 years ago. We could simulate a nuclear bomb or the weather if we were willing to allow our computers to run uninterrupted for a couple of months. John W.
