It's kinda mindblowing that in $CURRENT_YEAR we're able to do run beautiful-looking ray-traced video games on a home console that costs a few hundred dollars, but when I launch Microsoft Word on a several-thousand-dollar MacBook Pro it takes over 8 seconds from a cold start (just timed it right now).

We've all just accepted that 8 seconds is an acceptable time to wait to type some words into a computer.

My crappy HP laptop running Windows 10 starts Word in less than 2 seconds... you do have an SSD, don't you?
