Hehe, I know what you mean. I find that most of the people who say things like that have never used anything faster. My mother thinks Hotmail is fast because it's quicker than writing a letter!
OTOH, there does come a point where faster CPUs are justified. I've never used an Amiga faster than an 060... and I have to say it's pretty slow.
