I'm still not sure what's so impressive about the last 25 years of Windows and MacOS that means we need an absolute supercomputer by 2000 standard just to open a word document the same way we did back in Windows 2000

Didn’t Word used to be installed from 2 floppy disks? Now Calculator.app leaks 40 GB of memory. Software in this sorry state cannot be run on a supercomputer, it needs one of those theoretical ocean-boilers.
Word 4.0 for DOS from 1987, sure.
This is a false memory. The reason "splash screens" existed with little text banners updating you about the status of the program's initializers was because it took fucking forever to launch Word on a 90's PC.
