I haven't seen so many people eagerly waiting for mainframes from 70s. As the author said - no IPs, no CIDR no NAT, no counting of ram so vast infinite resources, you only need a terminal to do everything remotely, it's only one development environement, mainframes for the masses this time.... And yet you still have to work within boundries because you or whoever you work for don't have money for infinite resources. It's a small contradiction omitted everywhere in these kinds of posts. But hey, lets come full circle into the 70s and welcome our ma...cough.. Cloud 2.0. If this happens there's hope. We will relive the microcomputer revolution after that. :)
