My first computer was a Clary 404, with 8K of magnetic core memory,
a magnetic card reader and/or teletype as input device, and an
IBM golf ball "Selectric" typewriter for output.  A 3rd-year
undergraduate, working under my supervision, wrote a chess end-game
solver that would run on this machine and solve end-game problems
in reasonable time.  I wonder how many programmers today could do
the same with 125 000 times as much memory (1Gb) ?
