Just? A computer 500 times as powerful as the very largest
50 million dollar behemoth in existence today, or two million times
as powerful as your home PC seems like a pretty special feature
to me, so is the fact that's we'll have it in just 5 years.
Exactly what disappoints you, what else were you expecting?
