(I was interviewed a couple of weeks ago myself - Graham Steel) Relating to this post, I did a wee mash up of a presentation last year but ironically, it's too big to upload (I have an idea though now thanks to composing this). Check out the original here:- http://redpoll.pharmacy.ualberta.ca/lab_talks/talks.html It's the 7th down by (Prof) David Wishart. Hi Ryan,

I did mix the concepts. The article's about data, but Moore's law is about processing data. I got swept up with trying to include as many cool concepts as possible in one post. : ) BMF: Ah, things were so much simpler back then. Watching my 1200 baud modem scroll text. Trading software for credits. Apparently the Amiga brand name is still around, it's graphics for low-end processing power (like cellphones) still rocks. Good catch Sour Swinger!

I spent many a night in my youth, posting to BBSs, downloading and uploading Demos and such. Those were the days, eh Ryan? I hear that the sound chip in the C64 was very advanced and is still used today for some applications. Pretty cool for a computer that is close to 30 years old. -BMF The C64 was a beautiful machine.

Could have been part of the flux capacitor or something. I never had the chance to see a C64. My first was a 386. I think it's also important to clarify that hard drive space doesn't follow Moore's law. It kinda sounded like you blended transistors & hard drive space. We'll probably see the exabyte sooner in storage before speed. That old gigabyte looks like something from the “future”. Could have been part of the flux capacitor or something.
