who you could sell a computer to had one (or more) by the year 2000,
after that you needed to speed up upgrades. Sooner or later this
constant upgrade cycle will fall apart and many more companies will go
bankrupt until we are stuck using machines and software for a much
longer time period and the few programmers left are stuck trying to
relearn optimization techniques again.
I figure that the next Great Leap Forward in Sales Engineering will
be proliferation of "Sorry, this requires a 64 bit CPU" software.
There's quite a bit out there already, but one can still ignore a lot
of it...
