Buffy ,'Potential'
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!
I think you're off by an order of magnitude, tommyrot.
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.
Anyway, any suggestions for a decent email client that runs well on XP in Gig of Ram. Right now I'm just thinking of going back to Thunderbird 2.x, but I'm open to other suggestions. (And yes I think my first PC had 256 K of Ram. But I'm pretty sure there are people who started with PCs with a lot less than that.)
I have to say that I think you should just go back to Tbird 2.0. It just rocks and I found it to be very flexible for what I needed to do on PCs and macs.
Is anyone else having a problem with text being clipped in the Facebook news feed? For the last day or so, the text has been cutting off at the edge, wrapping to the next line (so one or more letters of a word are on one line and the rest of the word on the next). I'm pretty sure I didn't change any settings in FB or IE.
ETA: Nevermind. I think it's a "Compatibility View" issue. Now if I could only get that stupid bubble to stop appearing.
Tommy, you might try Zimbra. I don't know the requirements, but they have a pretty comparison chart on their website that made them look really spiffy, and it's compatible with Windows Mac and Linux. [link]
If your operating system is overly complex and error-prone, the way to fix it is to add yet another layer of complexity to patch over the problems. Brilliant!

I am typing from an iPad. Sadly, it is not MY iPad. S is under very strict orders not to let me go to the apple store on the way home.
