Thoughts
Maybe Steve Jobs was wrong. Maybe we need computers that are too big for you to throw out of a window.
Pros of computers small enough to throw out of a window:
* small enough to throw out of a window
* take them around with you
* stack them on top of each other
Pros of computers too big to throw out of a window:
* cannot run away
* light and airy—not dense
* easy to remember
I am of course talking in terms of comparable computing power. Modern data centers resemble many computers that you can throw out of a window stacked on top of each other much more than the computers that are too big to throw out of a window that I’m talking about.
