	Sigh!

Yeah, right now I have a 32M RAM SpracStation 1+ and many file 
servers on the net.  My software runs faster and I would like
to have more RAM and more speed.

I just wonder how people developed extremely good software on
machines much much less capable than the machines that we use
nowaday.  Sigh!

If we can have yesterday's programmer and tomorrow's machines
then we will probably have a lot of excellent programs today.
