A Sun 3-50 with a 15.7MHz 68020 and 4MB running diskless was about the 
same booting. And when you opened mailtool, you were reading the latest 
in less than a second. In exchange for having a graphic that can resize 
itself to be readable, supposedly, from a 4 line LED screen to a wall 
TV, you have mail user agents that will let you read mail in a couple of 
seconds, but only after 30 seconds of filling 100MB of memory with 
cached pages.

Hmm. Progress!
