I don't believe that same leap or high or whatever you want to call it
as far as the personal computer itself is possible now. PC s are so
universal now, mundane, not like back in the Eighties, or for those of
you who got a real early start, the Seventies. Now it seems as though
everyone has one, like toasters. Processors get faster and storage
capacity increases, and someone is always finding a more efficient way
to do things (except for Microsoft), but there doesn't seem to be the
potential for that same "amazement" that at least I felt back in the
Eighties when I got my //c (not that I was ever any kind of computer
geek as you can tell from the questions I ask, but it was pretty cool
back then).
Then again maybe I'm just nuts.
