If you were careful in your building practices, you could construct a fully functional home computer, interface it to a monochrome monitor (which was all there was at the time), a keyboard, 8 inch floppy drive, 64K of memory and it would run balls out at 2MHZ on a proven operating system called CP/M.

Those were the days, but look how far we've come since then! WOW!
I've never used CP/M, but i have used OS/2, DOS, Linux and every version of windows under the sun. My favorite operating system of all time is DOS. IMHO, it's the last thing M$ did correctly/efficiently.
I actually knew about this tri-gate transistor about a month ago. Then, as now, i've still not heard definitively when they will begin using it and which chips, exactly, will sport these lovely things. Until then, great news, but...bleh.
