I am running quite a few windows (and dos) apps on this box. The boot-up time is fast, but the logon to the LAN or Local takes (dare I say it?) 10 MINUTES!!! Most of that time is taken up by system tray icons which I need to keep running for the purpose of using my laptop--it is my lifestyle! I need to have ActiveSYNC 3.1 running to use my pocket PC anytime I wish, and the Office 2000 Shortcut bar is my quick launch for my Word, Excel, etc., so I don't have to wait the extra 2 Minutes to load the start menu! I have some games that I like (sorry, game freaks, they don't do LINUX!!!!), including Deer Avenger 1, M.A.M.E., and Atari ST, TRS-80, and Atari 8-bit EMUs (I love to feel nostalgic!), and if I could do more RAM, maybe I could have some more games that relate to my favorite animal as well! I have AWS's Weatherbug, to monitor my local weather for all my emergencies, and Media Player 6.1 (I don't know why I even bothered installing that, my laptop doesn't even come with built in sound!), and more! The whole nine yards leaves me with about 90% of my 1.02GB Hard Drive full! Most of the time it takes to even open an email message via Outlook goes to listening to my Hard Drive chatter and click while my PC locks up waiting for the chattering to stop! Anyone see why my laptop has about 40% system resources left??? Face it! I need more RAM!!!!!
