because a single computer now runs not one program - but hundreads of programs. the problem with modern developers is that they tend to forget this. and, surprisingly enough, even large C programs now tend to be complete memory hogs - see firefox/mozilla, evolution, KDE (and its hundreads of utilities), gnome, etc. imagine how they'd look if they were written in a scripting language ;) we'll be unable to open more then one application at a time. i'm not talking about java and dot net - with them, there's an assumption of a single-ask computer to begin with. --guy -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
