Multipliers
Alan Green was reminiscing about the olden days, and started thinking. That thinking led to a
table comparing a Commodore 64 to his current hardware. If you stop for a minute and look at the multipliers in the right hand column (crude though they be), you have to marvel at the wonders that the hardware engineers have been doing. And no offense to Alan, but his system is isn't that current. You could multiply CPU clock by 2, RAM by 2 and disk by 2 or 3.
Of course, if you think some more, you start wondering what the software multipliers would be if you had corresponding ones...
