Who needs Atom - let alone Core i3, i5, and i7? Everyone has all the computing power they need already. What we all have is good enough. Noooo, what we had 20 years back is good enough for now....and for the future!

Man, finally you guys got it how stupid this discussion is. There will never be enough computing power, only in FPG lala land.

OT: my first spreadsheet?

Just to be clear, as we speak I am currently working on a clients xlsx that has a few thousand lines of VBA code (yes sadly I'm writing VBA code in my retirement) that I've written for this client to automate the generation of around 500 spreadsheets (around 1.5 meg of data) for all of their remote departments to update and upload. Then an additional VBA process aggregates the spreadsheets into a master and performs various computations and breakdowns to produce the master budget for the enterprise. Please don't ask why they don't store their budget data in a database and just use Excel on the front end (sore subject).

So SuperCalc on a 64K machine to do this? No.

Recently finished creating an HD movie from a 200 MB camcorder file. After editing I ran Mercalli stabilizer and then outputted the media as Mpeg2. Converted it to MP4 in 10 seconds.

Try that with your 20 year old tech.
