NASA’s latest Mars rover has the same processor as an iMac from 1998. Why? Because it is dependable and reliable which to NASA are more important than cutting edge.

Nope. That isn't a photoshop picture. The car is real and for sale.

That's the Design Studio lobby.

The staircase and "teacup" desk are off the right rear; the nose of the car is pointing towards to Design Dome.

There is some good evidence that the "upgrades" on electronics are not always better.

I don't think Microsoft has put together an operating system that is more stable than either Windows 98SE or Windows XP.

But, they keep changing it so we have to buy new software.

You're right about nothing ever being as good or stable since. I ran my XP Pro until it didn't work for much of anything anymore. I had to build a new desktop with this crap W10 3 years ago.
