Response Time


What do my Core 2 Duo iMac, my Mustang GT and a really good employee have in common? You guessed it, a super fast Response Time.

Thats the the time differential between the input of an instruction and the time of response. The less the time, the more satisfying the experience.

Sometimes I just click away at my iMac just to be amazed at how fast it responds. Much like I just go aimlessly driving in my 5 Litre Mustang just so I can feel the immediate torque as soon as I depress the accelerator. An FI Ferrari would be something to wet dream about!

If you ever find a good employee, it's fun just to give them instructions and watch them go at it.

Think of the increased satifaction you would have if everything responded the way these examples do.
