Because I usually take the role of trying to explain to people
how wonderful the new technologies that are coming along are
going to be, and I thought that, since I was among friends here,
I would tell you what I really think and try to look back and
try to understand what is really going on here with these
amazing jumps in technology that seem so fast that we can barely
keep on top of it. So I'm going to start out by showing just one
very boring technology slide. And then, so if you can just turn
on the slide that's on. This is just a random slide that I
picked out of my file. What I want to show you is not so much

happens to be a slide of some analysis that we were doing about
the power of RISC microprocessors versus the power of local area
networks. And the interesting thing about it is that this slide,
