Statement by the President - He’s loosening export controls on super computers! (1999 - CLINTON)

That one actually made sense. The export controls were pegged at a processing power that was formerly only attainable by huge supercomputers. At the time they were loosened, that power was available on a desktop. The static restriction meant our computer industry soon wouldn't be able to export anything, and foreign competitors would have filled the need. Only a few years after this people were able to make supercomputers using Sony's PlayStation 2 game console.
