   It is up to you to support your claim.  Asking questions of others =
about your claims is not supporting them.

   Now if you had claimed that your own productivity has not increased =
or that you don't believe anyone else's productivity has increased you = would
be in a different position.  The former might even be true and if = you were
posting here with some Windows 3.1 or OS/2 client instead of = what appears to
be Outlook Express 6.0 on Windows XP SP1 it might hold = some weight.  The
latter would simply be incorrect.

   As for your new claim, again it would hold more weight if you were =
using a 386.  It would still be irrelevant and inaccurate.

  I see none - unless you consider worms and viruses a "value add".

  A 386 can download and process email as well as the newest P4.

    Win31 and OS/2 have browsers and email.  They still work fine.

    Software doesn't rot like wood.
