I have a 1024-node, 32-way symmetric multiprocessor system with a peak
performance of about 24 TeraOperations per second.
The hard drive is a sphere—about the size of Rover in The Prisoner—
coated in Perspex and filled with liquefied gallium arsenide. Do you
know about van der Waals dispersion forces? Well that is the essence
of the hard drive. The sphere is suspended a hundredth of a millimetre
above its perigee by use of two electromagnetic gyroscopes - so it can
rotate through all its axes at lightning speed. It is surrounded by
thousands of miniature laser beams that can write to any part of the
interior of the sphere. Data is stored by the heat from the laser
beams causing the gallium arsenide to crystallise; essentially each
molecule of gallium arsenide becomes one bit; each crystal contains
about 100 million bits. One week I calculated that the entire sphere
would have a potential memory of about one hundred trillion
yottabytes. (Enough for all my music.)

I have 160 Terabytes of RAM with some fans in the ceiling help to keep
the ambient temperature down to about 4 degrees Celsius. Lox runs
through small cables - like fibre-optic cables - and back through a
freezer. This keeps the motherboard down to about 170 Kelvins.


I am willing to try out your new chess program on my computer.


My problem is that I am using Windows 3.1 and I keep getting the
message:


* Press any key to terminate the current application.
* Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart your computer. You will
lose any unsaved information in all applications.
Press any key to continue.


What does that mean?
