Puppy cost nearly $10 million in 1972 dollars. 80 MHz! 2 Megabytes of memory! 250 MFlops!
My desktop production machine runs 50 times faster, has 2000 times the memory and 30 times the megaflops. The solid state disk is millions of times larger and thousands of times quicker than the million dollar disk installion in the first Cray-1. And the SSD cost less than $200. And the heat dissipation is 500 watts, not 115 Kilowatts.
