in his brain. He can chew gum and walk at the same time, so it can't be a 2-bit processor, and it sure as hell isn't even on the 8-bit level. And then we have President Obama, who is equipped with a dual-core 64-bit CPU.

(146,318 posts)I hooked it up to an old TV I had and kept it in my office. I wrote a little text editor program for it and would fire it up if someone asked. I actually had several early PCs in my office, all set up and ready to demonstrate how much change there had been. From a KayPro portable and a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 100 to the very first Macintosh model. Each had a piece of software that showed what using it would have been like. I actually had a copy of Intuit's Quicken 1.0 for the Mac. Funny stuff. It was a big office, so I had a little computer museum in there for fun. Remember the Gorilla Banana Printer? I had one hooked up to the KayPro. I had a price cap on that stuff, though. I never spend more than $15 for anything, and it had to be in working condition.

(52,267 posts)i have noted before, on the software side, he seems to be a weak programmer's attempt at human interaction.
his programming is very simple. he has a few limited responses to stimuli, which only appear to be more varied due to a sizable database of mocking nicknames and insults.
