- I wish people would stop trying to use as little memory as possible.
- Face it, when I bought a 386/33 in 1991 it had 1 MB. I quickly upgraded to
- 5 MB when I had Linux 0.11 and 0.12. Those ran in 1 MB but then you couldn't
- use gcc. Since then memory requirements have grown. Even if your cheapo
- clone builder sells a P90 with 4 of 8 MB RAM doesn't mean that you should
- stick with that forever.
-
- All this nonsense about businesses not going to Windows 95 because all
- their PC's were 286's or 386's with 2 or 4 MB, like Computerworld liked
- to stress is nonsense. If you want to keep up with the software of today,
- buy the hardware of today. I have 32 MB and everyone with less should
- upgrade or accept the fact that they are stuck with a bullshit PC.
