Well, the spec for a pc around the year 2000 was
a single cpu - 1 core - with 256 mb ram. I still got a Dell c600
laptop from that time.

and incidentally, that is the spec of a raspberry pi - model b1, which I
do a fair bit of development in ada for.

So, the paper is not that far away for some of todays context.
