On Precious Lifetime

So I got this brand-new IBM/Lenovo T60 Laptop (a "gift" from my employee) and installed Visual Studio 2005 plus some additional SDKs and tools. This took almost an hour to install and I remember the old times when I had my Turbo Pascal 3.0 on a 5 1/4" disk and had virtually nothing to install, I just could use it. Couldn't say my programs were worse in these days than they are today. But I have to stop this now or I won't end praising the wonderful world of old-fashioned straight software and complaining about overblown harddrive-eating monsters.
