Not to derail, but the thing about wristwatches/pocket calculators being more powerful than the best sixties computer is a frequently-quoted and entirely wrong bit of BS. That is all.
- samatman 16y agoUnless your wristwatch is an iPod Nano, which it easily could be. Or your pocket calculator is a recent-model TI or HP graphing calculator.
- nostrademons 16y agoBoth my wristwatch and my pocket calculator are my Nexus One, which has 4G of storage space (500x the top of the line System/360) and a 1 GHz processor (200x the top of the line System/360). It was free for me, but retailed for about $550 (1/2000th a top of the line System/360).
