I always envied analog computers (electronic ones anyway!); I
always felt they had MORE potential for control because the
dials. You could deal with actual fractions that weren't
converted into binary or decimal for example. Oh, I feel
computers are SO PRIMITIVE right now. It's maddening to me. I'm
only a little excited about quantum computers working in qubits
because even THEN, having a good quantum computer _won't_ be
enough. I have higher aspirations for future computers than
merely quantum computing*
