So what happened to these guys? I was networking supercomputers at a major oil company way back when this article was written, and it's worth noting that $200 worth of Raspberry Pi and SD card today is roughly equivalent to the supercomputers and disk farms of the early '90s!

I used to like to play a game whereby I would try to calculate how much computing power my house had, and what year that was equivalent to in total world computing power.

I think I got somewhere in the 1970s before I gave up :)
