It's incredible how much the prices have fallen and that's how it should be. Sure, I bought the 960 close to launch but still the difference is staggering.

The 960 Evo still chugs along albeit it's a new one because a few months after I bought it, I had to RMA it. I guess that's what happens when you are an early adopter. I lost a few hours of work when the original 960 Evo decided to stop working but it also taught me to be more paranoia with backups.

Well To be honest java is a slug, especially on old hardware. If you wanted speed you would use some c or Assembler program....

    I had been programming C for almost a decade at that time, and was tired of working so low level. I hoped Java would get me higher level, but it didn't work out. Eventually ended up on Python, which was fairly light weight, fast enough, but a joy to program (unlike java).
