I remember a brazilian computer magazine writing about myths in
computers. It was something like:


User:
"Ooh, softhouse XXX says that new word processor is much faster than the
previous version, so I should buy it. But it asks me for a new computer.
Is this true?"

Magazine:
"If softwares were becoming faster and more efficient with time (they
are not), the new version of your word processor would run on your
previous computer, not on the next one."


I thought it was a good and simple way to explain for their readers,
which are not exactly dr.dobb's subscribers....
