Moore’s Law, I need hardly remind a top-notch industry professional like you, states that as the density of silicon circuitry doubles, the probability of you not being able to find some sensibly-priced extra memory to fit your old lappy approaches 1.0.
In recent times it has become generally admitted that, if this well-known observation has not yet quite joined Elvis, it is at the very least fiddling determinedly with the fire exit door. Instead of increasingly quick processors, we are given increasingly cored processors. Whereas it used to take just one running instance of Access 2000 to bring your CPU usage meter to 100%, it now takes two, four or possibly 128.
