Wow... Reading this thread I feel like some sort of time traveler, what with my cable internet, multicore processor, and smartphone. On Tue, Nov 2, 2010 at 11:56 PM, Michael Sokolov <msokolov@ivan.harhan.org>wrote:

Hi, I'm from the year 2000. I've got my cable internet, some prototype DSP/CPU combination cores that I've been playing with, and some weird attempt at shoe-horning in a cell phone into a Palm Pilot (or the other way around? I'm not sure. I'm still not sure.) Oh you mean, your apple airport, apple macbook, and apple iphone? AH. Now I see why you think you're in the future. :-) Adrian
Part of the joke was that I am not state of the art :( I guess I am not as funny as I thought I was. On Wed, Nov 3, 2010 at 12:24 AM, Adrian Chadd <adrian@creative.net.au>wrote:
