Isn't it funny how computers seem to have kicked into some kind of de-
evolution? The Sinclair ZX-anything was small, cheap and silent. So was just
about every micro "back then".
The standard home PC nowadays is a bulking tower case with one buzzing HDD,
one humming CDD, one fan for the PSU, one on top of the heatsinks on the CPU
and one or more on top of the heatsinks on the graphics card. I don't think
anyone 20 years ago, or even ten years ago, would have expected modern
computers to be so noisy and prone to over-heating. It's obviously a syndrome
of PC speed demons dictating every aspect of computer development.

You can't prove anything about a program written in C or FORTRAN. It's really
just Peek and Poke with some syntactic sugar.
