Because Thing B is faster, Thing A is no longer
useful?
That reminds me of a thought I have from time to time when confronted
with statements like "The
computer is already x years old, it' getting too slow and must be
~replaced" -- A computer doesn't
get slower with time.....!
Well, I hae no direct experience of this, but plenty of PC shops around
here have adverts in the windo of the form 'Windows getting too slow?
Have it re-installed here for only <price>'. So perhaps at least one
common OS does get slower with time...
Incidentally, your comment is also true of amny other things. A 50Mhz
'scope made 40 years ago is _still_ a 50MHz 'scope. And I for one would
rather hand cuch an instruemtn than a modern 'scope of the same quoted
specidfications.
