When people talk about the power of their computers, we've heard all kinds of claims:
- I have more power on my desktop computer than the Apollo had to put a man on the moon
- The phone in my pocket has more power than the Apollo space program had
- I have more power on my wrist watch than the lunar lander
- And the latest one: I have more power in my key fob than the Apollo capsule had
Are any of these true? In this episode, we break it down and enjoy a bit of computing history along the way.
