I don't know about that. You should have seen my Terak System
with 28KW of memory and 4 RX01 8" floppies doing COBOL development.

But Cobol is just not the same with out some spinning tape drives.
Ben. Tomasz, forgive me but I have to ask. You did
note the date on which
that announcement appeared, right?
Yeah. I do not have to look at it again to tell you it was dated April
1st 2005 :-). But it is ok you asked, I could have overlooked it in a
hurry. But, well, Arduinos with 512 bytes or ram, just think of it,
putting Cobol on it, what an achievement would it be...
