Some of us still write software to be run on Win95 for old 486s... CD drives
are few and far between :-)

a new PC is now so damned cheap that a reinvestment in a PC would save
their boss millions of dollars in waisted waiting time for the
computer to boot, r...u....n t.........h..........e

The employer is not paying for effective work at all, just paying a
lot for wasted time in waiting for the computer to do anything.

Or is the use of extreme slow computers a way to keep many inefficient
employers in "work", that is all waiting for the computer to do
anything?

Over here a new P5 with 3 GHz desktop or tower start at 4000 NOK
(divide by 7 to get in dollar) with 512 MB RAM etc. I would think in
all other countries it would be even far cheaper since Norway is the
most expensive country to live in. (at least said by newspapers)
