    I'm sure Andy misapplied the triangle analogy.

    The triangle analogy could have been applied to how long it took to get to 2014 and the kind of computers available these days..

    I think it's fair to estimate that the start date for the laptop that Andy mentioned was around 1950 or so.

    Andy we're you born then? Anyway, it's definitely evolved and improved, at someone's great expense.

    So I think it has taken about 64 years to finally arrive at the point where we can by a better faster cheaper laptop.

    The requirements of people and businesses are not the same, they have grown. One could argue that in simplified terms such as using a primitive Pythagorean triple ( a2 + b2 = c2 ), its the c!

    Hence, you can go faster but you have to go further!
