Yea, yea, luxury. "In my day we had to listen to the radio and draw our own pictures" (no I'm not quite that old).
It's all part of our rush-rush society. Milliseconds of warm-up time on the robot isn't good enough for us.
To be fair the computers can start up pretty fast. I blame software for bloated OS's. The machine's faster so we should do more, right? That's why my old computers at home all seem to boot as fast as the newest machine (as long as I freeze the old machines with an old OS).
