Performance shock

[Ed Sutherland]

What is calm discussion doing in this bastion of rabid idealogues? My 
filters obviously let a stray message past. ;) But really, remembering 
when I used punch cards to program a computer, when maxing out my 
computer's memory meant you had a whole 1MB of RAM onboard, that my 
word-processor used to be a Royal portable with no error-correction, 
that the search-and-replace function operates at 1.2 millisecond and I 
can type 60 words a minute, that I can change the computer's wallpaper 
and theme in 2 minutes but I haven't repainted my house or changed my 
office wallpaper in 5 years -- all puts this Windows vs. Linux squable 
into perspective (for me, at least.) ;)
