With the advent of faster and increasingly faster CPU power, I've noticed
that professional programmers get sloppier and sloppier with their
programming. Therefore there should be some sort of law that states that
all commercial programmers should program and test their code on
computers at least 4-5 generations older than the current generation,
resulting in amazing programs that ROCK on a P][, G3 or whatever you
have.
