Nice upgrade. That's the upside of not upgrading every year or two. You
can actually feel the difference.

I can see it happening. It will just be a special license qualification
like they have for a bus or an 18 wheeler. There will be those duffasses

Right you are Wes. That's where it will be. Instead of faster and faster
clocks, it'll b more and more cpus' per chip. I wouldn't be surprised if
