I looked at some pages recently where I was making comparisons about contemporary machines, and I've realised that even now those machines have become the last generation's machines. Graphics just keep getting better, new control methods are developed and refined all the time, computing power is exploding and storage capacity is more than abundant - heck, abundant doesn't even come close.
