My computer's too slow

You can't buy a computer nowadays that's too slow to run Word Processors/Spreadsheets/Web browsers on.

So what would you be able to do on your computer if it was faster that you can't now?

Gmail and especially Facebook do special javascript things while you type. For example, Facebook's new @friend name feature requires it to watch for when you type the '@' character and present a dropdown menu when you do.

Making sure you are running the latest version of Firefox/Chrome/Safari/Opera helps, as they've all been doing a lot of work to make Javascript faster.
