   Be very, very careful with that attitude.  Back in the 1970s, some  
blithering idiot came up with the idea that programmer time is more  
important than processor time.  This has given rise to things like  
Windows, which takes hundreds of megabytes of RAM and multi-GHz  
processors to do even the very simplest of things.  That moron back  
in the 1970s (whoever it was) should be put up against a wall and shot.
