Computing power in a mobile phone

[4GS]

.I'm puzzled, last night I was talking to my friend who told me that there is more computing power in today's mobile phones that there was in the rocket that sent the men to the moon
Utter hogwash!!!!!

I've just found some old fireworks left over from bonfire night, got the biggest I could find and tied my mobile phone to it, lit the paper.. stood back and watched as my mobile took off, rose to about 50 foot then exploded in a flames!!!!!
It was a Samsung G800 as well :-((

SOOOO obviously not much computing power under your skull then.

[redcrx]

lol, it was very nice of you to come up with that idea logic but she is called Amelia.

Mind you, the way she is this morning, perhaps i should have gone with your suggestion lol

Nah it's ok logic I've got a spare mobile for just such emergencies so, no, I've not planned the next one yet. But hey, thanks for asking ;-))

I've heard that too, 4GS. Wouldn't surprise me - remember in those days computers were the size of whole rooms, with spinning reels and men in white suits. Rockets were small, so the computer would have to be too.

Well 4GS, not much point in offering you my mobile, as you would need a full size missile to launch it ,It's actually one of the best mobiles iv'e seen, It doesn't take photo's. you can't play games on it or listen to music, or mp3s, but you can make phone calls with it, without needing a degree in technology,
BTW its about 15 years old and commonly known as the brick, but it has never yet failed me.
