"I've spent many long hours since pointing out to Windoze afficionados that when they had a 40Mhz Win 95 PC they could surf the web, send emails, write letters, and what can they do now, with 100 times the Cpu power ? Surf the web, send emails and write letters ! "


 My first internet computer was a Mac IIci with 25mHz cpu (68030?) and 14.4  modem.
 Fine for  every thing but as more graphics became part of web sites was forced to get faster machines.Even eBay was o.k. except for the few sellers who insisted on large patterned backgrounds and eight  2 meg pics of a coffeee cup.

 I wish the websites did not lock you out if not using latest browsers,just let ME decide if I want/need the singing,dancing,superhires video .

 If our cars were like computers we  would all be driving Lamborghinis to work and grocery,except there would be a huge travvel trailer hooked on the back!
