A new Pixel 6 came a few days later. It struck
me, looking at
its specs, that it was more powerful in every dimension than the IBM
ES/3090-600S I used briefly in the early 1990s...and that machine
routinely supported 1,000 interactive timesharing users under VM/ESA!
Not every dimension. Specifically, the ES/3090 had static RAM and a far more performant
bus than any Sun machine.
