For those with one, take a close look at the cellular telephone you carry around as if it were some sort of necessity. Do you know that it represents 64 Times the computing power of all the Mission Control Computers combined in July, 1969?<br />The Frodo, Tranquility Base Herenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173973315363181140.post-60069339623909223492009-07-20T22:10:54.666-04:002009-07-20T22:10:54.666-04:00Thanks BJ.
