One day they actually brought the computer in to let us see it - it was the size of a fridge. And probably had less computing power than my phone does now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the average iPhone or recent Android is over 1000 times as powerful as a high-end mid-80’s mainframe, there’s a fair chance a bedside alarm clock or a small kitchen appliance is more powerful than that 70’s computer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
