Isn't there a philosophy that if it is 10 yrs old and still working, it ain't broke? Last gen chips have the bugs worked out.
Bugs in new chips are expensive when in space!
don't forget your transaction costs!!!
How much does it cost YOU to process a cheque?
There are lots of costs,
Sending
-Envolope ($0.10)
-Stamp ($0.53)
-Cheque ($?.??)
-Time to print cheque ?.??
-Labour! (BIG BUCKS)
Recieving
-Internal routing (LABOUR)
-Cheque reconsiliation (LABOUR)
-Statement production (Matierials, labour etc.)
The company I worked for figured that a cheque from AR/AP cost $50.00 to transact (and that was in the 90's).
Manual transactions are costly and due to their nature, inherently vulnerable to error.
My $0.02 worth!;)
If I am not mistaken, torque gets you there, horsepower keeps you there. Not sure if that is right, but I heard that years ago.
VW aside, A Volvo 2.4t has variable valve timing. It has a FLAT 199ft/lbs torque from 1500-5000RPM.
The 190HP is nice, BUT,
That pull you get (no peek, just flat torque) definitely gets you going, and is silky smooth.
You really don't notice it until the traffic around you is all of a sudden going a lot slower.
Considering a 2.2 Tonne car the mileage on the highway is not bad (less than 10L/100K)
I think I will get some numbers of people I don't like, set my mail server on rapid fire and giggle at their expense.
Mailbomb a phone, love it!;)
Stupid plan by cell phone companies!
