Got to agree. There is so much bloatware around. A close link between programmers and the hardware made for efficient code. Using high level languages like JAVA (interpreted FFS!!!!!) may be highly portable but munches resources. Programmers (in the main) do not worry about the effect thier programs have on the systems, as hardware is cheap. These days many shops just buy thier way out of performance issues.....
The only code I get to write these days is still Assembler though
