Len,
I remember back about 20 years or so when I attended a Texas Insturments
conference in Dallas where Capt. Grace Murray Hopper was the featured
speaker. Among other things that day she said "In pioneer days they used
oxen for heavy pulling, and when one ox couldn't budge a log, they didn't
try to grow a larger ox. We shouldn't be trying for bigger computers, but
for more systems of computers."
Captain Hopper was the third programmer on the Mark I, found the first
"bug", invented COBOL, and accomplished so very much with her life. More at:

A key, and very old but little-heeded, msg is that the solution is not
throwing bigger and bigger single machines at the situation, but using
several smaller machines each concentrating of specific tasks.
