I personally attribute Pentiums as Creating life as I know it. Without
the advent of cheap computers, I wouldn't be able to own a VAX 11/750.
Of course, the VAX puts out way more heat for less work, so I'm doing
more to hasten the heat death of the universe than a room full of
Pentiums.
<grin> Everyone needs a hobby....

How much power is required to heat the ocean by 1 degree C? At our

how long will it take to heat the ocean?
How many Pentiums will it take to exterminate life as we know it?
