I wonder how fast WE are... back in 1993, when I first started learning
about computers (before I had one) I saw a program which, in one scene,
had a cartoon of a big rock sitting on a chair in front of a computer
and the narrator was describing how TO A COMPUTER (of the day, of
course), EACH KEYSTROKE a human would make would seem like SEVEN YEARS!

Tell him you know someone whose first computer had 1K of RAM. Yes! One *K*.
(In some locales Timex) Sinclair ZX81. My second computer had 3.5K of RAM
and featured a whopping 22 characters across the screen. Commodore VIC-20.
But the Volkscomputer, the Commodore 64 had a full 64K of RAM and a
processor (6502) that smoked at 1MHz.
What about the 6MHz Texas Instruments Ti-86, or the 2MHz Ti-82 ;)
