Personal computing at _Scientific American_

(smirk, computers)

The December 1993 issue of _Scientific American_ contained an article on
the current state of the art in high-temperature superconductivity; one
paragraph on page 123 made me wonder whether _Scientific American_ was
equally familiar with the state of the art in personal computing:
 
   This past year American Superconductor fashioned its wires
   into coils for Reliance Electric in Cleveland, Ohio, which
   built a two-horsepower motor--strong enough to power the
   cooling fan in a desktop computer.
 
My mind boggles at the thought of what they must use for desktop
computers there and whether they have any room left on their desks to
put their coffee cups....
