I remember how excited we were when they told us that we would be receiving our 8 MHz PC AT "any day now" to replace our 6 MHz PC AT and how sad I was when a year later I had to use a 4.77 MHz PC without a HDD to edit some documents.
1 GHz was not even in our dreams, let alone complaining about "why one core at 7.xx GHz" versus "mine can do 9.xx GHz" or some such.
How spoiled I feel these days.
Used to be I'd start a simulation run on the computer (green screen), go downstairs, brew coffee, shoot the breeze with friends, come back and it was finally ready. Then I had to skip shooting the breeze followed up by waiting for coffee to brew. Now, forget about it: I am sure that my cellphone can complete that same simulation seemingly as quickly as click start.
Now, on the main page I read "IBM says quantum computing is right around the corner".... How sweet it is to live in the future
