I am really impressed at how fast Macs have grown from the good ole 128k days.

But there is one thing I am wondering.  Will the advent of larger floppies and
greater memory prevent people from writing shorter more efficient programs?  
Will there be an outpour of sloppy algorithms?

I am just wondering, and I have nothing against better technology.

Oh, by the way we got our AU/X today.  Eat your heart out.  Will let you know
