Playing with this 133Mhz laptop has made it abundantly clear just how much faster computers are today than they were even 5-10 years ago. We use applications today that no one would have even bothered with back then. And as much fun as it is to wait 10 minutes for Firefox to start, I can’t help but think I have better things to do with my time.

Maybe I should dig out my old 286 and play around with that. Only downside is that I can’t install Linux on it. Besides, I think it needs a new motherboard, and finding a replacement might be a bit difficult nowadays.
