"24 October 2000, The Register, New Intel Adverts Are Cr" At the same time as I feel that thirty years of my life just blitted by unmeasurably fast, the above headline from just 17 years ago seems like a true relic of a different era. And oh how much I'd love to feel like my computer was going to be really fast come my next upgrade. Thank goodness I am just enough older than to have been learning only while everyone and dog knew what Moore's Law was.

  Sorry about that. I knew that I should have linked the article to show the connection, but I was wary of it containing inappropriate language. Anyhow here is the explanation : https://m.theregister.co.uk/2000/10/24/new_intel_tv_ads_complete/ https://m.theregister.co.uk/2000/10/24/new_intel_tv_ads_comp...
