Actually, it's your attitude that allows software companies to keep
writing crappy, unoptimized software :-)  I agree with you that Mozilla
is a fairly complex application - but other, equally complex
applications seem to have no trouble running in 32-64Megs (e.g.
IE, NS 4.x, Opera 5.)

And your point about "...even though I'm in a small minority" seems to
be unsubstantiated by facts.  I would wager that there are a heck of
alot more PCs with 64Megs or less out there - BEING USED - than there
are those with more.
