ANNOUNCING -- BrainDoubler 1.0 (From the developers of
ConflictDoubler)
You've doubled your RAM, you've doubled your speed, you've
even doubled your CPU. You're still hungry for more. What to do next?
DOUBLE YOUR BRAIN!
Since the introduction of the Altair in the mid-1970s, the
power of the average personal computer has grown at an exponential rate.
Today's notebook computer possesses orders of magnitude more processing
power than the Apollo astronauts took with them to the moon. You and I
wouldn't think of booting up with less than a PowerPC or Pentium; Neil
Armstrong cruised a half-million miles and made One Giant Leap(tm) with TTL
circuitry!
Despite the explosion in processing power and the
accompanying plunge in costs for RAM and hard disk storage, many computer
users are still disappointed with the performance of their personal computer
systems
"In 1985, when I bought my Mac 512K and an ImageWriter
II," says Roy Cardiff, an early Mac adopter, "it took me about a
day to write and edit a 10 page memo. Now that I have a Mac 8500 32/1080MB
and a color laser printer, it takes me... about a day to type and edit a 10
page memo."
Indeed, our detailed analyses show that over the course of a
24 hour period, 99.94% of all processor cycles are spent waiting for you,
the computer user, to do something. In other words, the bottleneck today is
not in your computer--it is in your head.
The lesson is plain. If you want to get more out of your
computer, you're going to have to improve *your* performance. To help you
along, we've developed BrainDoubler.
In our beta testing, we have found that BrainDoubler
significantly increases the rate at which experienced users are able to get
work done with their computers:

(Your results may vary. We've noticed that people with a
general propensity for bad ideas produce a majority of bad ideas with
BrainDoubler. We're working on a fix. In the meantime, we do not recommend
BrainDoubler for idiots, MBAs or government employees.)
