I have wondered how it is that my Mac Plus became a machine with almost no noticeable delays when I upgraded to 4mb ram, and now I have 8gb of ram, and a less responsive system. I realize my system is far more dynamic today. I just wonder if one day we'll be using systems with 4tb of ram that would be snappier if upgraded to 8tb or 16tb.
Given the nature of open source, I'd be surprised if there isn't a alternative for less dynamic, less resource req, systems. Is there a system out there that still uses fewer commands?
I don't know how to ask this next question, so please bare with me.. Are there any modern systems that don't require modern hardware, but are just more efficient versions of past systems?
I have been happy with the way I could use my computer for the last 20 years (probably earlier, too).. so are there any efforts to keep the simplicity of older systems that were adequate for most, make them more efficient, and either have "super hardware", or I suppose very cheap hardware?
Thanks for anyone who made it through my ignorant ramblings.
