[COFF] The inexorable passage of time

[Adam Thornton]

I was idly leafing through Padlipsky's _Elements Of Network Style_ the
other day, and on page 72, he was imagining a future in which a cigar-box
sized PDP-10 would be exchanging data with a breadbox-sized S/370.

And here we are, only 40 years later, and 3 of my PDP-10s and my S/370 are
all running on the same cigarette-pack sized machine, which cost something
like $75 ($25 in 1984 dollars).
