Sheer Speed

My little computer has a 2.4 GHz Intel processor, Compared with my first 8 MHz 80286, that’s sheer speed.

Now, if the processor was about 10 to 15 times faster, I just might be able to start a game of solitaire in about the same amount of time.

Then, again, MS would just figure out some more ways to load down the system, not to mention complicate some more.

Wouldn’t be so bad if it were just games, but everything takes longer. It’s as if they are in cahoots with the folks trying to sell new ones. Not good enough to use the old ones. Always need newer, faster with more bells and whistles.

Sounds like a marketing plan.
