I'm an old-school user of PC's and I fondly remember the hour-glass icon used to flip and have sand pouring. It gave me something to watch but also told me that the computer had not frozen. About 5 years ago I suddenly realised that the icon had become static even though computers had become far more powerful , so it could not be a memory issue.
Was there an international 'hour-glass' conference I missed on the news? Or did Microsoft just stop doing it and everyone else followed on?
