An interesting thing about Moore's law.  First, it is misquoted or 
extended beyond what it really stated.  In the 60s Moore only said that 
his company could double the number of transistors on a given size die 
every 12 months, later relaxed to every 18 months.  It says nothing 
about performance etc.  Many people claim that it states that computing 
power will double every 18 months.  That is not Moore's law.....
