Chip with its own Peltier cooler

We used the Peltier effect over 45 years ago, clamping power transistors to a Peltier effect unit.

It made all the difference, allowing the units to run OK on a hot day, like today's 38 degrees Celsius, right here and now.

We imported the units, then called "Frigistors" from the De La Rue Company in the UK, especially for the units I designed.

Perhaps the De La Rue Frigistor Company was taken over by Rank, in the late 1960's.

Complete and utter stupid waste of time...
We don't need faster processors...we need code efficient software without a huge overhead of bloatware.

Classic case of solving the symptoms instead of the problem!

Slaps furry head with paw....

Hello Del,

It was somewhat easier back in the days of DOS.

In those days the Operating System did not carry driver software for 20,000+ different hardware items, unlike today's WinXP, Vista, and MacOSX.

While I admit it is now easier to obtain almost any hardware item, plug it in, and it then quickly works automatically, there is a price we have all paid for that convenience.

As you say, CPU/RAM sizes and speeds have had to be increased to use the present bloatware, just so the uneducated may use a Computer.

I well remember a DX2-66, with 1MB of VidRAM, and 4MB of RAM, running Windows v3.1, and a TV Card too, blindingly fast.

Have we gained anything: Yes, at the expense of our

Kind Regards....

You obviously havn't bought much new kit lately! ... plug it in......then go to the manufacturers website to download the latest driver.
