Well, 30 years ago it wasn't so trivial, was it? If you had the processor it would still have been trivial - but the likelihood of having a processor available for such trivial things was probably very small! It was Richard who wondered "whatever happened to..." - and the answer to that is that it became not only trivial but also economic! |
