...real good bike," he said. Black, polished, stripped, Kenny's 500cc bike didn't look very special, though. "I had it set up by a guy from Cincinnati down for the big races here in March. You just take all the cylinders and parts and balance them to the thousandth of an inch...

What is more, IBM's development requires only about one ten-thousandth of the power necessary to run these transistors; it gives off only a tiny fraction of the heat they radiate. And it is transistor heat as much as switching time that limits a computer's skills. For when transistors are packed closer together in order to speed up the flow...
