One day after the first 100GHz CPU hits stores, all the software dorks of the planet will invent such abstract, surreal and wasteful new ways to "program" that you won't be able to tell that CPU from a 1GHz PIII. Picture a 1TB mouse driver that needs a few dozen virtual machines ... Because you can.

But we as users are often not much better than bloatware programmers. I often receive drawings as printable docs. Typically a huge file, even one-sheeters often wouldn't have fit onto a floppy disk back in the old days. Yet one can create the same sort of info in a 50k PNG file ... In 1989 my whole biz book-keeping database set fit onto one 1.44MB disk, including the SW to run it. My 2009 set would still fit on such a disk, except that the "modern" SW version needs several times more program storage space than my whole hard drive had back then. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.
