- Would the car industry advance as fast as computers, the car would cost one dollar and would run a million km with one gallon of gasoline.

- Would the transport advance so fast as your company, we would have to buy a new car each time when one builds a new road or even draws a new line at the pavement.

You need MAPLE 10 and some tea (or just patience) to reproduce the stair

• Here is the company C of computers; they master:
• Per each two years, their PCs run twice faster.

• Here is company S of the soft; they work hard as plowers,
• So, each new release runs 0.7 times slower;
• The soft is to run at the user's PC,
• Which is made, of course, by the company C.

• Here is user U, buys from C and from S,
• the newest model and the latest release.
• U presses some key, say, key number K;
• The soft S responds, with some delay,
• during some time, say, during time t,
• to let user U to have some tea.

You need MAPLE 10 and some tea (or just patience) to reproduce the random walk

• How many releases per year does sell S to U
• to let him have tea, while he has nothing to do,
• just waiting response by the soft to key K,
• keeping the same time t of delay,
• neutralizing the efforts of company C
• to run faster U's task at his modern PC?

• This problem above is not correct, because
• The tea-concern, together with C, of course,
• support the efforts of the company S
• to make even bigger the newest release,
• To force U buy more tea and a newest PC,
• to boost business of C and the concern of tea.
