I appreciate efficient code. (I’m non programmer)

I remember how it was when I built my first PC back in 1982.

You gave a command and it was instantly executed. Now you have to wait on WinDoz. (running Debian with XFCE on this box now)

First ran Linux back in 1994. Was an UMSDOS version of Slackware. Non-GUI version. Very fast, very efficient. You set all the configuration up with an editor. Back in dark ages. hee hee hee

In 1982 I had my first computer. A SYM-1 6502 cpu, 1 MHz, with 4k of ram. I added a VT100 terminal and a 300 baud modem to log into the school’s network.
