I second your view, vince^3. I find it unacceptable that software consumes almost every ounce of increased hardware performance we've seen over the past 10 years.

Back in the day I hated DOS, but I do have a fond remembrance for typing a "dir" command and seeing the directory contents appear in a blink.

I try opening a folder (a folder!) on my 512MB laptop (only 9 months old) and I have time to pick-up a cup of coffee off my desk. Open Word? I could drink it. Reboot? I could brew it!

Someone should create a flash-based computer, something as simple as a PDA code-wise, but with a full screen and keyboard.
