Ah yes, trolls *do* hate it when pro-Linux stuff is posted to COLA.
Quoting only very little will do nothing to reduce the supposed clutter
you trolls all complain about (since it drowns you out), but will
significantly reduce the usability of Roy's posts as advocacy material
(but then again, that's probably what you want).

No, that would be silly.  But with 256 MB it is completely usable.  I
know this because that's all the RAM I have in any of my machines.
Despite currently running the latest KDE, Konqueror, kpdf, Mozilla (not
the light-weight Firefox), Skype, Einstein@Home, and lots of other
little memory eaters, it remains usable.  RAM usage is 150 MB and swap
is unused.  Just opened up a Word document in OO.org, and RAM usage is
now 160, with 12 MB swap used.  What more normal desktop usage would you
have me perform to prove my point?

Performance just doesn't degrade noticeably before I hit around 90+% RAM
usage, and that does not happen with normal desktop usage (or do you
think I'd continue to suffer poor performance for years, despite the
fact that doubling my RAM would be a mere 25$?).  Now games, that's a
different matter, but then we weren't talking about games.

You seem to do little else.

You are wrong.  I tried to find a better way of bringing my point
across, but there is no other way to put it.  Maybe I'll think of
something in the morning.

barf, and a very bad day at the data dump. -- High opinions of X.CPP
