[Fot] State of F1

[Joe Curry]

Here's the "Rub"!  Every time computer hardware takes a leap in technology,
it is followed by a quick response from the programmers with crappy and
wasteful programming techniques.  So what has happened over the years is
that the speed stays about the same.

"Intel giveth and Microsoft taketh away"!

The purest form of programming is machine language.  But today the only
things written in machine code are higher lever programming languages.  The
application software becomes layers upon layers of various application and
driver software programs leading to a large scale of inefficiency.

I think we must have been hanging out in the same places. George  
Morrow (Morrow Computers, one of the early CP/M brands) said way back  
in the 70's "Anyone who believes what programmers say deserves what  
happens to them".
