I have one last question for you on this totally ridiculous and totally absurd subject.

Since you seem to feel that you are a better "authority" than was Einstein...

What is your assessment as to the capabilities of computers and OSs
available to us after a blackhole has swallowed-up our sun ?

Will we have 16bit machines booted to DOS ?

Of will we then need to resort to using machines like this one ?

Of perhaps _this_ will be our only available computer ? :-D
