Post hold on.. lets compare...

not TOO many years ago I bought a 233 mHz intel cpu based computer thinking it was the greatest thing since bread. It runs 2K now.

Now handhelds have more processing power...

how fast are they now?
at least 500 something, right?
Do they have 3D accellerators?

lets stop and take a look at how far speed and size have come in just a few years...
something to think about
computers are becoming so powerful that prototypes do not have enough power to run.... lol

Yeah, it doesn't seem like it was that long ago that I had a 386SX 8 MHz PC with only 1MB of RAM running DOS 4.0 and GeoWorks Ensemble. That thing only had a 40MB hard drive in it. My parents bought it in 1990 and I inherited it when they bought a new computer in 1995. That was my first computer, and I played Wolfenstein non-stop on it. Those were the days.

You mean the 2D version. You mean I wasn't the only person who had it!
