Conversation at lunch about progress in computing, and "Southwest runs Windows 3.1" came up, and I got to thinking: What have we really got since '94? Most new web browser capabilities and increased memory and graphics are used to deliver ads.
Word processing and spreadsheets are pretty similar (Emacs is still my editor of choice). We have nicer photo and video editing, and MP3s have replaced WAVs, but... it's amazing how much of modern computing doesn't feel like actual progress.
