OT: Sometimes I just love Apple Computer

[simplsol at aol.com]

Hi Derek,
Congratualtions.
When the time comes, don't skimp on RAM.
Some time ago one of my customers got an Intel 1.8 Ghz iMac with one 
Gig of RAM. This is about the same clock speed as my 1.67 Ghz 
PowerBook, also with one Gig of RAM - but it did everything about twice 
as fast.
Shortly after that another customer got the same model iMac but it was 
only about 1.5 times faster. The difference? It had the base 512 Meg of 
RAM. We upgraded it to a Gig and it was also twice a fast. Apple's 
requirement of 128 Meg is primarily for people who like watching the 
"rainbow pizza" cursor.
For your work it probably pays to max out the computer's RAM.
For what it's worth...
PL

I don't know why, but I felt the need to convey this most recent
experience of mine:

As some of you may know, I've been trying to get back to developing on a
Macintosh after switching to Windows about 5 years ago.  I recently
purchased Mac OS X 10.0, to which I found out that I couldn't continue
my development efforts on.

Today I received Mac OS X 10.3 in the mail.  I started installing it
when I was greeted with a dialog I knew I would be getting:  Mac OS X
10.3 requires 128 MB's of ram, and I only have 96 on my iMac G3.

But... the continue button was not disabled.  So I proceeded just to see
what would happen.  To my surprise, the installer worked, and the iMac
booted into 10.3 without any problems what-so-ever.

So, I'm back.  I will just need to upgrade my license, and get some more
RAM of course.  Finally!
