Progress bars

Welcome to the fun and glamorous side of computers!
- my Dad, whenever I was frustrated with progress bars as a child

ESRI, makers of ArcMap: Why, oh why, can’t you at least multi-thread ArcMap. Or make it 64-bit. Or *something*. I’m severely not a fan of ArcMap taking 5,000 years to complete a spatial join. Yes, I know I’m doing this on a 1.83 GHz Mac Mini. But it has two cores, and it’s 64-bit. And it runs MATLAB very nicely, thankyouverymuch, so it’s not impotent by any means.

I’m going to grow old and die before I have the 2000-2005 temperate forest cover change mapped into a 0.5° grid. Gaah.
