It fascinates me that even as recently as 1970, people were utterly stuck on the notion that a powerful computer simply HAD to be BIG....ENORMOUS...COLOSSAL. It never EVER occurred to them that circuit elements could shrink, or that a computer the size of a mountain or even larger would have VERY L O N G circuit pathways that would make it very slooooooooooow.
