Since I'm in a great mood today, I thought, "There must be something positive that has changed about players' habits over that time." And when you think about it that way, the list is a LOT longer. I don't have a lot of time right now, but just off the top of my head:
--Nobody string bets any more, not even the newest newb, and on the rare occasions it does happen, the table no longer fights for the chance to lecture them about it.
--No smoking!
--No more drinks/ashtrays/cigarette packs on the felt.
--Working at racetracks instead of destination casinos the last four years, it's been a long time since I've had to deal with players leaving a seat locked up for an hour+ while off to eat, only to decide after eating that they didn't feel like playing poker any more and coming back to retrieve to their money.
--I'm sure there's more, but as I said, these were just off the top of my head.
