 | I don't hear much advertised these days for anything slower than 1ghz machines and there's P4 2.6ghz chips about,
 processors seem to be speeding up almost exponentially, I
 only wonder about what sort of figures will be considered
 nextgeneration in 12 months from today? what do does the
 average pc owner do with 4ghz?

 Apparently they fly into space.
 
 I couldn't imagine having something like that.

 | remember whats-his-name's law: processor speed doubles every 18 months
 
 he made this up a long time ago and its supposed to actually
 be pretty accurate historically...
 it would be interesting to look up some archived newspaper
 ads and such, and check this out yourself to see how true it
 is
