I think it killed the performance on a lot of the systems in the Labs for years because everyone had their own copy of it, but it wasn't being shared, and so they wasted huge amounts of memory back when memory was expensive.

They're very strong in memory. Didn't do very much in microprocessors or digital signal processing.

When we get the final hardware, the performance is just going to skyrocket.

The IronClad is faster than most thumb drives but far slower than a standard hard drive. Boot up, application launch and other Windows operations feel sluggish, though still usable.

My impression is that the elimination of memories greatly reduces the value of the experience.

If it weren't for Moore's law changing the playing field continuously, I would have been long gone. The rapid pace of hardware evolution still keeps things fresh for me.

The speed at which modern CPUs perform computations still blows my mind daily.

I'm the one who made many of the bold comments that we'd seen the technologies from AMD as pretty good. Their technology in many areas was leading. But those are transient.

Just luxuriate in a certain memory, and the details will come. It's like a magnet attracting steel filings.
