Time to make the "World's Simplest Atwood Monitor Predictor Calculator"

Like many of these things, I doubt it's a true "exponential" curve.
Once the number of monitors per yacht is equivalent to the total number of ocular receptors in Jeff's eyeballs, I would expect it to flatten out considerably.
I mean, come on: no one would accuse him of being megalomaniacal. Particularly since that word is so heavily patent-encumbered by Apple.
