Do you remember 386 computers? From 386 to todays pentiums of which I can't recall the exact name. It's 15 years. Is such a fast change normal?

The first computer I used was a 468 "without windows", only in MS-DOS in the school (wow... those school days) and of course the things are changing so fast, there's a prediction called the "moore's law" that says the number of transistors in an IC or microprocessor double every two years, and it's real until now, read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore's_law So the increase in the number of transistor make so much powerful processors each time.

I also used a 468 machine for the first time. And that was also in school. We did LOGO. It brings a smile to my face just to remember, what PCs were back then, and what they have become now...
