    Probably like reloading. Not saving him anything. He is more effecient now he is doing more and watching more on it, just more effecient.

    Like in reloading, they say you will save money. Sure on cost per round. But you shoot more buy more components and stuff and buy more guns to reload for so you end up spending the same or more money!! In his case I bet he is on it just as much, just more effecient :)

    Probably a negligible amount of time saved, but a good amount of frustration saved. Productivity is way up with the desktop.

    We were given some old Radio Shack computer, back in the early 90's that ran some sort of BASIC. I didn't play with it much, but we got a few ASCII games with it. One of them appeared to be an "adult" game that we thought was hilarious.

    Why the IBM PC Used an Intel 8088

    This processor or its variant the Z-80 is still used to this day.. Low cost and reliable .. Basically the 8086, 8088 and Z-80 are all in the same family..
