This just in from PC Magazine: We don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves, but the next couple of decades could dramatically change computing. We look forward to delving into these advances in future issues of PC Magazine. 2014 Wireless chip integration onto the CPU die and advance coprocessing 2016 Hybrid laptops with solar cells and lithium ion batteries 2018 System cache size big enough to run operating systems 2022 "Spintronics," technology that changes the quantum spin of electrons. Some call this "quantum computing." 2027 Holographic processing, with advanced -projection technology, to allow users to do away with displays Notice that in 2018 we are supposed to have cache size (on the processor) large enough to run operating systems. Obviously PC Magazine has never seen VISTA. ;-) John W. Colby Colby Consulting www.ColbyConsulting.com
