- I love this debate. People are complaining about web browsing on ONLY 2M
- RAM and not being able to run anything else at the same time. At work I
- use a Pentium with Windoze 3.141592654 with 48M of RAM and can't run
- more than Netscape. I love coming home to my puny little A1200 running at
- 14Mhz and going faster than the Pentiums at work. I just thought it was
- funny.
- I do agree that 2M RAM does not allow for much of the wonderful
- graphics found on the web, but I find RAM the least of my limitations.
- The 14.4k combined with the 14Mhz processor make large Jpegs load
- SLOWLY! Other than that, I love my only slightly expanded A1200(6M RAM).
- I have found that IBrowse with GIFs and simpler pages over my 14.4 loads
- pages somewhat faster than the Pentium/Netscape/T1 setup at work. Oh
- well, just my rants for the evening.
