Hi Bob BL> ...... A Pentium is just a Z80 on steroids, moving more and more BL> shit about faster. 32-bits have proved a dead loss, mostly using BL> twice the memory with a size handicap and no great speed advantage so BL> what happens? The Skymap program I use was ported from Win31 to Win95 a year or so ago, with a claimed doubling of speed in numerical calculations. BL> I think the next step is going to be a much smaller BL> software coupled to the CPU itself, directly... a specialist GUI CPU BL> that lets us send much smaller instructions. Won't that become obsolete slightly faster than the current crop of too-slow general purpose cpu's?
