Hello Friends, If you haven't already seen it, I highly recommend the 15th Anniversary Issue of PC Magazine, March 25, 1997, Vol. 16, No. 6. The graph of Moore's Law on page 169 is particularly amazing. Quoting: "In 1965, when Intel cofounder Gordon Moore predicted that microprocessor transistor density would double every two years (a statement known since as Moore's Law), no one could imagine exactly how accurate his prognostication would prove to be. What's perhaps more astounding is that if microprocessors continue to follow this trend -- and we have little doubt that they will -- computers powered by multiple- gigahertz CPUs will be commonplace in the next century." Today's MMX Pentium has about 4.5 million transistors. Get down to your local newsstand asap; this one is a collector's item, for sure! I would love to see PC Magazine sell the graph of Moore's Law as a full-size wall poster: it projects the law out to the year 2015. Enjoy! The future of computers is a bright one. /s/ Paul Mitchell ======================================================================== Paul Andrew, Mitchell, B.A., M.S. : Counselor at Law, federal witness email: [address in tool bar] : Eudora Pro 3.0.1 on Intel 586 CPU web site: http://www.supremelaw.com : library & law school registration ship to: c/o 2509 N.
