Why NOT linux?

[Kyo]

let's all switch to OS/2

[bicostp]

No, Mac OS 9, 8, or 7.

As a side note, here's System 7.0.1 on an emulated Plus with a system extension that adds wallpaper (written in 1988 or '89).

All those shortcuts are legitimate, however 'iTunes' is just a folder with a custom icon. It contains copies of "Never Gonna Give You Up" and "Because it's Midnite" in a highly compressed format that can play on SoundEdit.

People who say Vista is slow = have crap PCs.

So we should all buy expensive, top of the line computers to run a crappy OS? You're making less and less sense.

I bought my top-of-the-range PC for gaming obviously, but i've seen people bash Vista because it didnt work well on 512MB of RAM... seriously who has 512MB of RAM in 2008

It's all I need as I'm not running Vista.

Double post from a mate's Vista running laptop. Pretty high spec thing too

I'm pretty sure my normal PC usage would kill 512mb itself. Hell firefox uses about 100MB for some reason.

256MB is quite sufficient for me on my Lifebook. I use Firefox as well, and it is currently using 55MB of RAM with 6 tabs open. Now, I'm hardly using this laptop for anything demanding. On my Dell downstairs, which I really only use occasionally now, and for stuff like Photoshop, After Effects, and Premiere Elements, I have 1GB of RAM. This is great for those demanding apps, but is hardly necessary for day-to-day web browsing.

I run and use a lot of resource demanding programs. Photoshop, SonicStage, hell even Windows Live Messenger somehow manages to use 32MB ram, then there is Steam etc.

I hate using crap PC's too, I only like powerful ones.

My computers are not "crap", they are simply old. They were good for their time. It's not like I have an eMachines or something.

not using crap software (live messenger etc) tends to use less ram as well, my laptop has 256mb ram, so does the desktop i use every day and i get along just fine, my main desktop has 2 gb tho.

Yeah that was a bad choice of word. I should of said something like... lower spec.

My dad has a 1.8ghz AMD Athlon and 1GB of RAM. I find that sufficent if I ever need to use a PC when my own isn't in commission (or some other gay is on).

I have an old PII 400mhz with 64MB of RAM and Windows 98SE. 98SE is quite a usable system for non-intensive things, and those specs are ideal for 98SE; it's more responsive than my mom's 3GHZ Vista machine with 2GB of ram.
