And, the whole site still only takes up about 700K. Growing gradually, but again, none of your super MegaBytes that take hours to load & wade through to find anything useful.

I think one of the first things they teach in Engineering Systems Design is that the more complex a system gets, the more likely it is to fail, and this applies SO much to Software. When are they going to see that this constant update of CISC processors has a limit which is bound to be reached soon? 'Fixes' & 'Patches' are on the increase & only add to the complexity rather than solving any problems, hiding the flaws underneath. RISC systems are so 'pure' in comparison.
On a technical level there is clearly no reason why IBM & PCs should ever have advanced ahead of ARM based sytems, but hey, let's just wait for the big PC crash & see what happens...
I hope you've got some NEW technology up your sleeves guys if you want to survive the evolutionary process....
I mean come on, take a good idea, like GUIs (thanks 'Apple') and turn it into the most inefficient power, speed, memory hungry piece of software ever. Nice one.
Come on people, look at all your GigaBytes & MegaHertz & try to work out where it's all gone. It's not your applications themselves - I mean hell, I've got an old 'Microtan 65' 6502 based home-built computer with 8K of memory in total & no disk that plays a bloody good version of the original "Space Invaders", & I've still not met anyone fast enough to beat it. - It's your interface, trying to tell everything else how it should act, what it can do, how to do it. As I say, great idea - standardisation & interchangability are most desirable features, but badly implemented, what's the point?
Okay, no, I'm not offering any great solution, I'm just saying, "Wait & See..."
