Yeah okay, good for them. But my 3ghz isn't going to get me to the moon. And this knowledge sure as hell isn't making my setup go any faster.

Yeah, the AGC is an amazing piece of computing history.

But knowing it exists doesn't make me less irritated with the old piece of crap laptop I am typing this post on right now for its slowness, noise and heat.

There must be changes, miss to feel strong

Having more RAM is great because it gives you more memory to fill with separate instances of Chrome for every standalone application
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

Story time!  (Extremely interesting bit of information on how NASA worked around a hard-coded bug in the Apollo computer that could have ruined a mission)

Hardware doesn't lose performance over time, it's just that software is getting ridiculously resource-heavy. You could write just as comfortably here onsoftware from couple years back. (I know, security.)
