Amazing stuff. The way technology moves is mind boggling. I was just guesstimating that my Moto Q incorporates computing power and memory that is 20 to 30 times more than that of the first PC I ever owned - bought in 1991 (late by many standards). However I had bought a small handheld computing device by Radio Shack in 1986 - I stiil have it, IIRC It had 4 kb of memory or some such thing. I taught myself programming in BASIC on that device. shiv
