I am ordering the 3.16 GHz model,
the others have too high Watt power consumption :)

Well, it sounds very good !

Very exciting stuff, can't wait to have computers like on Star Trek. This seems like it will make it happen or get close to it!!

But I don't see that spaceship anywhere close. Can you imagine a computer like this inside a spaceshuttle? 20 yrs of age difference. ;)

You are right Mike. The 1970's really the space program in the US almost died. I was really surprised when the Space Shuttle Appeared and the fact that it has been around so long with nothing new.

In reading about tech news, I am seeing many companies working on privatization of space. There are lots of enthusiasts and as they become successful and richer, they are able to start new and innovative startups.

I am very happy when I come across such companies. Once they start making headlines with workable vehicles it will lead to a boom in space development and adventure.

But your comment about our computers now being so ahead of our spaceships, when it was the opposite in the 1960's.
