Military electronics has ALWAYS been about ten years ahead of what we see.
That stuff is generally demilitarized (shredded) when it is taken out of
service. The really high end stuff - crypto and countermeasures - always
is destroyed beyond recognition. True, the computers in the F-16s and such
may be a few years behind, but then they do not need such power. Things
that need to do signal analysis on incoming radar pulses on the fly, or
decrypting very high speed bursts of data do.

Are you saying that, 10 years ago, the military had machines that could carry
out calculations with the speed of a Pentium II -300? (I hesitate to mention
the Alpha 5-433, because I think the alpha project was originally funded by
the military)
