> The "pro" computer ten years from now will be the same size as today's iPhone.

I will bet a million dollars, in all seriousness, in front  of all the witnesses here, that this is not the case. Physics says no as does Moore’s law and what we will be doing with said computers in ten years.

I will agree the iPhone of ten years from now will outperform todays tower. But I am sure enough to bet a million dollars that pro’s will need far more power than that. The iPhone today much slower than the pro CPU in 2002. And the pro CPUs 10 years ago can’t run any recent version of CS6 (which requires Core 2 Duo minimum).

Unless you are hoping some massive revolution in chip/CPU/drive/RAM/storage, I think my best is pretty safe.

Plus, my towers have been getting bigger over the last 10 years, not smaller…
