To: HAL9000
This always reminds about Asimov's Foundation trilogy. The big fat bloated empire with all the resources in the galaxy, building enormous and inefficient spaceships, versus resource constrained Terminous, a planet that was driven to build more and more efficient technology and brainpower. How much longer before the PC OS won't fit on one CD?? And then there is DLL hell and registry bloat too. Just depressing.

...I know, I know, but I've never seen a mac in any (about 20-30) corporate finance/accounting settings since an old Classic was used as a foot rest back in 1993. I'll change when they change, I gotta eat.

Well, why do you think they now ship PC's with DVD drives? I hear the .NyET developer package only comes on DVD. It is only a matter of time before Winders will consume ever more resources.

Bloat - it's not just for after dinner anymore.
