I wish I could say it's only Windows but I moved my Firefox profile to an OS X installation (Snow Leopard) and it still slows to a crawl eating up over a gig of RAM easily.
I think the problem is mainly add-ons adding to the bill and making the install sluggish... like old Windows installs that have lots of registry issues that slow them down. I'm thinking of just uninstalling Firefox and redoing the whole thing except for my bookmarks and passwords.
Some people text with very few glances toward the phone, no more than say glancing at the dashboard to change a radio setting or adjust the climate controls.
I've always wondered why there aren't outright bans on people trying to put on makeup, brushing their teeth, eating a meal (I'm talking about cereal with a bowl and spoon or anything that requires two hands), etc. You'll definitely never see putting on makeup while driving banned. Every time I express my opinion against the texting bans many mothers say that its an irresponsible stance. I bring up the makeup thing and suddenly they are not so worried about responsibility.
Maybe we should just start shipping all our old books, CDs, and especially software that we don't use anymore back to the manufacturers. It's like returning a car at the end of the lease...
I'm sure there are many a Windows 3.1 floppy floating around nerd caves everywhere.

We'll see if your far fetched prediction plays out...
