Having been in some part of the DP/IT/software business almost continuously
since my early-seventies mainframe days, I've gotten used to it.  Still,
yeah, it's odd to contemplate that the Nokia "Internet Tablet" I'm playing
with now is more powerful than my first mainframe.  Hell, my Timex Datalink
watch probably gives that old NCR 315 a run for its money ...
