>how incredibly fast desktop applications used to be decades ago.

... that'd be during the time period when WordStar 5.0 would have to load an overlay from the floppy drive (taking a few seconds at least) in order to, e.g. print, and the speed of spell checking was such that you could actually follow along as the checker scanned through your document?

Decades ago also occurred decades after that. The average desktop app in 2003 felt faster than the average desktop app in 2023. The fact that you chose an app from 1983 shows you're intentionally dishonest.

I don't think he is intentionally dishonest. When I read "decades ago", I thought "three or more", roughly the same way "several" works.
