>> Doesn't demand for computer speed and performance increase rather logarithmically? No, exponentially. I won't upgrade till I can get 4x speed increase (less than that isn't visible). But that's me. But who demands less than xx% increase over the last model? xx% over previous point is exponential. Bloatware application vendors make up for it at the same rate, or maybe a bit faster. If you want logarithmic, try s/370 or Sun or Dec clusters. That'll give you logarithmic performance increase per processor at linear prices (or worse) <gggg>. Same is true for many NT clusters. Watch for linear cluster growth from CPQ.
