    To follow up from Ravi's post below, here is a timeline. I didn't go through it all, but there is some neat stuff. And that's one fancy timeline (though I'd be more impressed if it were HTML/JavaScript).

      When you think how much things have changed...the Intel 8088 processor in the first PC had 29,000 transistors. The latest generation has 5 billion! :omg:

                  Much longer than that, as neurons are effectively analog rather than digital.

                        Yeah. Awful! Causes a nasty side-effect: Sobriety. When you drink you may at try least shooting revenuers. (Even though you will probably miss. Hard to pick the proper target when you see 3 of them). But when sober you may decide not to shoot at all! Sobriety causes cowardice! :)

                            I don't remember being sober when I drank it in Prague. It all went well, drinking Abstinence[^] all day, but then things get a bit blurry around 2 in the morning.

                                  Straight from Wikipedia. It is quite a large employer. Acutally rather surprising.

                                          Alcohol might not kill brain cells, but it sure can bugger up the information that's flowing between them.
