Fifteen Years of Technology Reporting

jeffdsimpson writes "PC World NZ is 15 years old this month and they've written a story looking back at some of the statements made in the magazine over the years. Some gems include 'The past 10 years have seen a dramatic increase in clock rates, from just under 5MHz for the original IBM PC to 33MHz for the latest 386 systems. This more than six-fold increase will not be repeated' from July 1989 and 'The Internet Connection Company of New Zealand (ICONZ) offers full internet access and charges $50 a megabyte for email, and $10 a megabyte for all other information sent or received' from April 1994"

    Honestly. Is it too much to ask for you to type "too" rather than 2?

    The only reason you could be excused for writing 2, is if you're writing a text message with a mobile phone that lacks predictive text messaging. You're not doing that. Get a clue.
