Moore's Law original issue found

A copy of the original Electronics magazine in which Moore's Law was first published has turned up under the floorboards of a Surrey engineer.

Your a pack-rat. I can tell. Who else would save 115 GB of lossless music on their hard drives.

Apart from music, I'm pretty minimalist.
You have to be when your entire flat is about 300 square feet. :eek:

Funny you mentioned your flat, I was looking to live in the UK for perhaps a year, to absorb the culture and just get away.

Is the cost of living in the UK expensive? If I do decide to live in the UK, I'll likely rent a flat and live close to amenities.

A little known corollary to Moore's Law also states that the cost of living in the UK will double every couple of years. :)

Ouch; no wonder you installed the noise mod kit on your G4. It'd be like living next to Heathrow without it :p

I certainly hope that your income keeps pace.

That might have been just a slight exaggeration... :)

Was just vaguely trying to stay OT while recognising the futility of this thread. :o
