An anonymous reader writes "Earlier this month, Computerworld Australia checked out the exhibition of 30 years of Star Wars history at Sydney's Powerhouse museum. They also have a pictorial look at what's on display: one of the largest collections of Star Wars memorabilia combined with real-life examples of how such technology is being applied for business and social advancement."

    30 years?

    It says CLEARLY that it was A LONG TIME AGO.

    So it is not 30 years, it is a lot more.

    Plus, in that galaxy technology works the other way around: it get worse with time except for Death Stars (compare the technology in A New Hope with the one in The Phantom Menace)

    30 years, sigh. How many parsecs is that?

    A parsec is a unit of distance not time.

    Sigh, can't believe I'm doing this, but parsecs are actually a measure of distance, not time.
