This new workstation of mine is absolutely incredible.

 I'm  now  able  to  download almost any operating system and run it in
 VirtualBox -- completely from RAM, including the downloaded files. The
 integrated  (!) graphics processor is the fastest GPU I've ever had --
 I don't need a dedicated GPU anymore. The SSD  slams  the  data  right
 into my face. The OGG/Vorbis encoding process for a full album takes a
 couple of seconds. The machine actually boots up in about 1.5 seconds.

 And it does not make any fscking noise! It's silent!

 Not that I *need* 32 GB RAM. I don't *need* all that computing  power.
 Today.  But I plan to use this machine for 10 years or longer. And I'm
 sure, in 10 years I'm going to need all that "fancy stuff".  Remember,
 some years ago, no one would have thought that a web browser could use
 50 MB RAM or even more. One of my first machines had 6 MB RAM --  this
 was so much compared to my previous 640 KB RAM! What would I need 6 MB
 RAM for?!

 I'm very glad that I've waited 7 years to buy a new computer. This new
 workstation  is  a  huge  step  forward  -- for me. Had I bought a new
 computer, say, 2 years ago, it wouldn't be any fun at all.

 Oh, dear. Amazing!
