So here is a challenge:

Given a simple version of Moores law where CPU speeds double every 18 
months, when would a computer finish displaying every possible 
combination on a 1024*768 24 bit screen, if it started now, and had 
its cpu hotswapped as faster models appeared, or for the sake of 
argument continuously.
