That's relative. Vista is dog-slow, if what I hear is anything to go
by. Does that put anyone off?
slow not really. but complicated yes, that puts me off.
I ought to point you to XYwrite II, the first "word processor" I used
on the PC. I think you need to run it on a 4.7 MHz processor to
appreciate how fast it was, on modern hardware it would be hard to
realise that there is plenty untapped performance behind the scenes.
i understand.
im not a fan of eye candy either and i like fast low cost systems that
do what we want them to do.
