it's cracking me up! But I must say, he's making better progress than I thought. It must be picking up speed. Is the CPU on an inclined plane or something?
What? Another 18 days or so? If my late night math is close to accurate.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

Crap.
Okay, back online.
I'll have to deal with the consequences later, I'm going to be late for work, what with the hiding in the basement.

I'm in the market for some wireless headphones to wear at work so I can listen to my iPod. I'm not overly picky about sound quality for these, since I need to be able to hear what is happening around me as much as I need the distraction of music.
Anyway, I have some credit on Amazon I could use for these, I just need some pointers or recommendations.

How much memory would you suggest for a computer to run the Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office in Windows XP.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
In my opinion, there is little reason these days to run your computer with less than 2GB of memory. It shouldn't cost much more than $50.00, less if you're only adding more memory.

I'd say it depends on how easy/expensive it is to have more memory and how big the files you work with are.
I'd estimate you can get by on 512MB of memory. 1GB would be better if it isn't too hard or expensive to upgrade. 2GB would be best if you are working with big files or have lots of applications open at the same time, otherwise it will have diminishing returns over 1GB.
Turn off background programs, like anti-virus stuff, indexing software, scheduling software, etc.., and XP will soldier on with 256MB of memory, it's good that way. That gets pretty sluggish though.

Oh- I should say what I need it for.
I have Indesign at work on a computer that is dying. I have another computer that according tio IT needs more memory. (it is 2.80 Ghz, 530mb of RAM). My boss won't approve the additional memory because I am getting a new computer in a couple of months. We have 2 other laptops that might work, but I don't know how to tell if I have enough memory to install.
So I guess my question would be, what is the minimum memory I could have so I can run this program until I get my new computer, which hopefully will have 2G (IT chooses)
