Re: About time too
when simply waiting three to four years gave you the same performance...
Naw. In my experience, the developer's _insisted_ that they must have the latest, fastest, smoothest, graphically superior machines "for their productivity". And to their eyes, the software was fast enough (only because it was tested on a fast machine).
And the end users, stuck with cheap standard-issue office-level machines with half or quarter the RAM, two-year old CPUs and small and slow magnetic disks had to run the software built on super-fast machines.
And of course the software performance sucked.
And that led to demands for "improved" and newer standard-issue office-level machines.
Rinse. Repeat.
