And that’s the truth too... Every time I increased hardware speed MS filled that void with more UNNEEDED bloat slowing it right back down again. My wife’s new laptop with Win 10 runs as slow as my 286 used to run.

Something from the 90s.

Somewhere around here I’ve still got the magazine with these songs...

Nine-tenths of a gig,
Biggest ever seen,
Gosh, this program’s big— MS Word 15!
Comes on ten CDs,
And requires—damn!
Word is fine, but jeez—
60 megs of RAM?!

Oh! Microsoft, Microsoft,
Bloatware all the way!
I’ve sat here installing Word
Since breakfast yesterday!
Oh! Microsoft, Microsoft,
Moderation, please.
Guess you hadn’t noticed:
Four-gig drives don’t grow on trees!
