My parents recently left their cozy land of a Intel 486 and migrated to a P4 with DSL.

They used to be the sort who were patient enough to wait 5 minutes for NS/IE to load so that they could access their hotmail account. I think they told me, they spent on average about an hour a day writing about 8 emails.

With the new computer + broadband the last month, they have changed their habits. My mother gleefully told me "I don't have to wait for the computer to go places anymore. It waits on me." Part of that is the processor, but a larger part is the connection.

I'm reminded of Green Eggs and Ham "Try it, try it, you will see!" :)
