Not
criticizing, just reflecting on how far we've come.
I guess I wouldn't be
criticizing if it weren't for the fact that
with all those advances, everything still runs at the same
approximate apparent speed.
There's a quote I saw, from Seth Breidbart - he of Breidbart Index fame
on Usenet - that goes something like "WordStar on a 4.077 MHz 8086
could keep up with my typing; WinWord on a 300MHz Pentium III can't".
Perhaps he's just typing faster now.
