10x faster? In terms of megahertz try 100x faster.. overall system performence nowadays? They are probably about 500x faster than that old pos.

LOL, 10x faster? yep, like he said, try 100x faster, that processor is only 20mhz, they have 2ghz out now.

I have a question, how many people on this board believe that the US landed on the moon? Did you know that the computers back then had less power than a standard calculator we use today? I myself DO NOT belive that we (the US) landed on the moon.

LOL, i love that ad tho...

Thats why they screwed up on a lot of it. Its easy to into some building turn some lights, bring dirt in, make some background and dress up some guys, and jump around. hehe I can probably make a better video myself right now.

They only did that to scare off the soviets.. showing them that they all high tech and stuff. Cuz soviets got to space first, so they took it like a baby and made up some crap. When only the space shuttle was in space for 12 days or something like that, flying around earth.

NEVER MADE IT TO THE MOON, FACE IT

Well, I guess we may never know for sure the truth, but this is my last post about this subject. I didnt want to make any tension, but only wanted to see peoples opinions. Here is a link to some pics that may change your mind. I found it on a website a couple of years ago when I was doing a report for college.

I think we landed on the moon. I actualy did a report on this for school too cause i didnt believe that we did, but after researching it i changed my mind. And we will know for sure, in 2002 Japan is sending a satalite to the moon that will be able to take pictures of the landers... Altho... if they faked the landing... they'd probably just fake the pictures too... hhhmmm

mnkyboy, i assume you saw the fox special that said we never landed on the moon? Just remember that the same people did a segment saying that Bigfoot is real...
