Ah yes: seen that one too! :D

Fear not, another "paradigm shift" will surface! Mind you, to use it we'll all have to upgrade our motherboards for a faster bus. And of course the memory modules will change their pin config as well. Which means your old 10Gb main memory will then be worth exactly zilch. And of course, the ATA-IDE24 optical disk interface will have to be upgraded and none of your older disks will talk to it.

Ah yes, almost forgot: Steve Balmer will pre-announce support for all this in a Winblows 2010 fix-pack. Users still won't be happy Microsoft won't release a backward fix-pack for their Windows NT 4 servers...

But it will ALL be FANTASTIC value for money...

<I'd better stop now, it's getting scary, the deja-vu feel...> :D
