I poked around on an old Indy at a vintage computer show a couple years back, and the main takeaway I had was, “holy crap the UI elements feel instantaneous.”
I know it’s been posted here many times about how computers have become perceptually slow, but that Indy after a couple minutes of poking around really drove the point home in a way that no numbers ever could.
Computers have gained a lot, for sure, but they’ve also lost a lot. I wonder if it’s even possible to make a modern computer fast in a way that feels fast again.
