  1. Hmm... Not enough time... by rickthewizkid · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I wish I had known about this earlier....

    But then again, considering that the average piece of software takes 5 minutes to load on one of those Commodores... well... maybe I can leave my house now and get there before the show is over...

    (As a side thought)

    Time required to load GEOS on a C64 - 5 minutes
    Time required to load DOS + Windows 3.1 on a 486 - 5 minutes
    Time requiree to load WinXP on a P3 - 3 minutes
    Time required to load Red Hat on a P3 workstation - 5 minutes...
