In my experience, if you go from a slower to a faster machine, you get used
to the increased speed very easily, and even find it still too slow after a
while. You really feel the difference, if you have to go back to a slower
machine. Then you'll learn to appreciate the new one. I think this counts
for any increaese in speed, size, wealth, etc. in life. You only feel the
difference if you have to go back.
