Today I found on the shelf at my workplace old mid 90's PC. PI 200 MMX/64MB RAM Win 98. So let Me recall the old days. I crank it up and voila there is the well known desktop. I put floppy with few HTML files in I double click on license.htm and 3 seconds later there is Internet Explorer with full rendered pages.<br />
<br />I'm not in praise of M$ products.<br /><br />The question I'm asking myself is how WE managed to degrade in terms of speed and hardware requirements that drastically in matter of 15 years. I can't probably run modern kernel and X server on this hardware without waiting first my lunch to get ready :)
