Is just me, but is keyboad input geting slower and slower on web stuff,
even the old 110 buad tty gave better response running under a PDP/8.
Computer Software Boyle's Law:
extraneous actions, features, ads, etc. will expand to fill all available
space and speed resources.
For example:
Operating system distribution requires a double layer DVD, instead of a
single sided 5.25" floppy.
When you want to type a shopping list, is it quicker on the new machine?
(How long from power cycle on the amazingly fast Dell XPS before Office
gives you a blank document screen?) Does a shopping list need to have
PICTURES of eggs?
10 years ago, at the college, a memo announcing a room or time change for
a meeting was done on Word, printed in color, scanned, and attached to an
email. (I'm not sure WHY, but how else to get a horizontal rule that was
offset by a couple of pixels from one end to the other?) I wonder whether
they have now switched from the same half dozen words now being done with
video and sound?
