- Jtsummers 6y agoNo kidding. If I weren't too burnt out at the end of the day, I'd really like to explore the true limits of modern computers. Especially since I stopped playing video games, and I no longer do any real number crunching, I feel like every computer I use (for work or home) is greatly underperforming relative to its potential.

- tremon 6y agoTo illustrate: a 3.5" high-density floppy disk holds 1 second of DVD-quality video. (yes, I know, it depends on the rate of change in the image since modern video codecs are incremental -- I'm going by data rate rather than effective compression ratio)
