   Remember CP/M and DOS ... fueled a huge computer revolution
   in Biz and Science - and they'd fit on a low-density floppy
   with room to spare. I sometimes despair when I hear people
   bitch about how their i9 isn't fast enough or Win or Lin
   don't have drivers for the latest bit of off-brand tech
   junk they bought direct from AliBaba.

   But people want computers to be 'magic', solve all, do all.
   This led to COMPLICATED systems and software and the need
   for hot-running expensive hardware and gigabit networks.
   Then they wonder why it all never seems to work right ...

   Is the problem insufficient hardware/software - or
   more like 'ridiculous expectations' ?

   I started with Usenet and the similar Compuserve Groups
   using DOS boxes and a 12/2400 modem. Actually used CS with
   the modem attached to a dumb terminal ... ATTD .....

   Oh, and chemical-film cameras can yield high-rez pix.
   I have a Pentax 6x7 medium format - beautiful ! It
   just ain't "instant". Take the RIGHT shot, not 99
   kinda-sorta-maybe shots.
