Back in the days when we first go into computer graphics, 1990 or so my boss only provided me with old slow computers. At one point I had one computer feeding data slowly to a film recorder, one was churning on a Photoshop image to rotate it 90 degrees, one computer was scanning in image and that took 30 minutes. I had every computer busy at a task and I just put my feet up on the desk and leaned back. Right then the owner came in and said what is going on? I pointed out my SLOW computers were all maxed out at the same time and I was waiting on any one of them to finish so I could do the next step. Then I told him I have to have a new bigger hard drive as I am out of space and can't even do one project.
He would pay me a percentage of the profit on a project if I took it home and did it on my computer in the evenings above and beyond my salary.
I can remember dreaming a computer with 16 megs of memory and a Pentium CPU was just a far off goal. I do love my computer now. I would like more cores but until we have some more monster projects to need that, I will get by with the 16 cores and 32 logical processors.
