well if the slimdevices fanboys are happy to close the thread, I guess
we can all go home.

The final argument seems to be: no it is not bloatware, just throw more
hardware against it. Sad times are ahead :(

Apart from that, we obviously have a different view on what 'silent'
is. Getting a system with a cpu that has a termal envelope of +100W to
run silent is *very* costly. Unless you mean by noisless that you can't
hear it when it is in the server room and you are in another.

My system(s) stand in the living room, and my wife is very picky when
it comes to noise. *very*. Try getting your super 4 core 4GB
dreammachine to run fanless.... Your argument is just silly.

You also completely miss the point that when it takes +100MB RAM, it
will probably also use quite a bit of CPU power to execute the lot.

I see your point and I can tell you why they are not ok for me, now
look at it from my point of view. Given the functionality SS gives,
+100MB is just way over it.

(And yes, I think FF3 also consumes too much memory, but that is
probably due to caching pages in memory.)
