It still works, doesn't it?" "Works?" I opened the laptop and launched Photoshop, then imported an image. "Look for yourself." The progress bar crawled forward. The fans roared to life, and the noise was so loud that customers at the next table turned to look at us. "A video that used to render in ten minutes now takes two hours.

My mind races. Adrian needs to see this. Why is the file taking time to d******d?
