To be honest, I think it's quite sad that in 1986 you could boot GeoWrite from a 5.25" floppy disk quicker than you can now load OOo on a machine with 2000 times more speed, and thousands of times more RAM.

Though it may supprise you, people were actually productive back then, it wasn't bashing two rocks together.
