That's pretty sick, right there. I'm ancient enough to remember a time
when drawing the Mandelbrot set at 320x240 used to take /several
minutes/. And now you can apparently do this in realtime using an
unoptimised scripting language...

That's a quite long time ago. Even in the era of 486's you could
draw a 320x240 Mandelbrot or Julia set in almost real-time. (Of course
not with any scripting language.)

80486? Some of us remember the Z80 and the 6502. ;-)

My first computer (if you can call it that) was a ZX Spectrum 128.
That was quite a long time ago.

Mine was also a ZX Spectrum, although I'm not sure precisely which one.
Probably the 16K version.

My first computer was home made using a GPO uniselector and a rotary
dial. It could add and display the result in binary.
The first one that I worked on was a Honeywell 416
Feeling any younger now? ;-)

My dad's heating system is made by Honeywell. Who knew they make
anything that uses electricity though?

You said that the last time I told you that I worked for Honeywell
Computers. Maybe you are getting old and decrepit. :-P
