Interesting thread. A couple of thoughts. CardinalFang, I thought you had died or maybe gone into hibernation. Maybe someone opened your coffin or what? Welcome back.
Pat, your comments about cost of hardware, memory are well taken. I lived in Beijing for two years and watched as migrant workers chipped off the cement from the bricks. There, used bricks were more valuable than labour. Makes you stop & think about global economics. (you see the opening ceremony of the Olympics? Who in the west could afford that?). But in this world of audiophiles and techie folks that maybe layout 200$ for copper (ok, interconnects), you are right, its relatively cheap to upgrade the equipment to run the application. Not to say that 'bloatware' is not a concern, but I'm prepared to give some latitude to the application I use on a daily basis. (squeezeserver running at 185k....but I've got 8GB, so should I really be that worried??)
