From page 198...
... We conclude that while the 3-1OOM machineSi will not be here by 1995, it will be close enough for all practical purposes to make the following assumptions with regard to implementing and using microanalytic simulation models: . The processing power available will be sufficient to drive even the most complex graphical user interface and CASE tools for model construction and analysis, as well as to provide more than adequate power for large simulation experiments.
