Bill claimed a vast increase in electronic complexity tho, 3X, from what
is even with the internals, a rather electronically sophisticated device.

Maybe he is using that funky living maths or sumfin.

And he says 'no free space at all' too.

Then again, he does allegedly smoke the strong stuff |-)
