I don't know why that would be so taxing. I often have both FireFox and Safari running side by side ... as well as the XML structured editor that I do my writing in, Pages, a text editor, Mail, and Xcode, on the 4G MacBook Air while I work. And it's usually connected to a 27" Thunderbolt Display, with iTunes playing music and Time Machine doing continuous incremental backup, with all those apps running for reference, testing, etc. Doesn't seem to slow it down at all. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
