It is astonishing, to me at least, the progress in just 3 decades an it begs the question how long will it take for the Mac Pro to be as insignificant as the ZX81 is today? For certain it won't be 30 years.
Happy days.

ZX81 to 12 Core Mac Pro
I was reminded by an article in The Register that it was the anniversary of the ZX81 at the weekend. I have just purchased a new 12 core Mac Pro and it's sitting across the room from me while the ZX81 sits in a drawer on the other side of the room. In the space of 30 years we've gone from 3.25 MHz z80As, 1KB RAM, C90 Tape storage to the 2.93 GHz 12 core/24 thread 20 GB RAM and 5870 GPU and 5TBs of storage.
