That's a great article, Bill, thanks. Worth reading to remind us all how spectacularly powerful even a roadkill PC is compared with the top machines not so long ago.
ReplyDeleteI was once in a workshop held by IEEE Circuits and Systems (CANDE) where we made long-term predictions over beer and BBQ. A major question was whether a better program than SPICE would come along soon. Many of us thought good old SPICE's days were numbered. That workshop was in 1986.
