The speed of digital hardware progress is really amazing. Moore’s law (doubling of CPU speed every 1.5 year) is still alive, typical time-to-live of personal home computer is not more then 2-3 years, after that it is considered *ancient* and can hardly be sold for any money.
More and more often, there are voices standing against this speedy hardware revolution; they say, most of us can use not more than the tenth (or even hundredth!) of a typical today’s computer’s power.

Today, the likewise CPU and memory parameters rapidly become normal for smartphones fitting in a pocket. OK, can we play the good old Quake on a smartphone? Of course, yes.
What I should say: there IS always released pre-alpha version of the classic Quake I for Nokia Series 60 smartphones.

Sometimes Moore’s law and overall technical progress are Good Things! | | | Learn more about Quake I port for Nokia Series 60… |
