The pace of computer development was relentless. Within months, both the Clay Memory and Powder Memory technologies had advanced to a capacity of twenty megabytes. The CPUs had moved to eight-bit processing, and while the clock speed was still a sluggish one megahertz, it was a significant leap forward for this world's nascent computational landscape.
For an initial foray into computing, it was nothing short of groundbreaking. The programming language, a version of C, had come a long way, with an increasing library of standard functions being implemented daily. It wasn't just a tool anymore—it was the foundation for a technological revolution.
