if you had told college-aged me that I would be working on machines that surpassed the Sun pizza-boxen that we had in our college lab I'm not sure i would have believed you.
If you had told college-aged me that I would have a collection of programming languages available to me for free on said machines my mind would have boggled.
But that's what I have now. I have the workstation that I always dreamed I would have in my "dorm room".

@craigmaloney but if you had told college-age me that I would *still* be flabbergasted—and not in a good way—by how long it takes to load a text editor/word processor to memory and open a document, I would have believed you.
Processor generations come and go, but bloat is eternal.
