'The Girl in Question'
Buffistechnology 3: "Press Some Buttons, See What Happens."
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Eclipse has lovely support for plugging things in, but IntelliJ is such a well put-together package that I am clinging to it even though my employer would like us all to jump to Eclipse. They're also trying to take Perforce away from us, which is the saddest thing ever to make me sad.
Thunderbird 3 (latest upgrade) is more like thundersnail for me. I think they don't care that there are still people out there on XP with 1 meg of Ram and a slow processor. As long as I'm looking at going back to 2., is there some other email client I should consider instead?
I'm pretty sure that 1 meg of RAM is way below the minimum required for XP, even in 2001 when it was released.
I dunno - Microsoft requires a maximum of 1 gig of RAM for a netbook to be allowed to use XP Home.
(Their idea is any netbook with more than 1 gig of RAM should use Vista (or now Windows 7).)
edit for RAM error....
Sorry 1 Gig, not 1 Meg.
I think you're off by an order of magnitude, tommyrot.
And that 1 Gig is for netbooks too, so I'm not the only one making this mistake.

Oops. I think it's naptime.
eta: Years ago I ran Win 3.1 on a ZEOS with 1 meg of RAM. It mostly worked OK.
eta²: Wait, I think I upgraded it to 2.5 meg (maxing it out) before upgrading from Win 3.0 to Win 3.1. I also upgraded the CPU from a 286 to a 386.
I remember how outraged I was in 1989 that OSF/Motif wouldn't run well on a Unix workstation with less than 8MB of RAM.
