  • Happy Birthday to the PC.

    The modern PC or computer in general has turn 60 today.  To think, we went from the behemoth that filled a room, weighed over a ton, and had only 128 bytes of memory (that's 0.000122 MB of memory).  To something that fits in our bags, weighs less than three pounds, and has 8 GB of memory.  Now, if only the automobile industry can have that rapid of a rate of development...we could have had flying cars by now (well not really, but we could have had better gas mileage).
