Just because "memory is cheap" and other lazy programmer thinking. I wouldn't accuse Maxim of being lazy. In my case, with TB running, I am using 3.68 gb of ram out of 12. With TB closed |

doing much. And TheBat! is not the only program people run.
In my case, out of my 16GB, Firefox feels free to eat anywhere all the way
to 8, Thunderbird takes several gigs too, on bad days, Eclipse is no fly
weight either.
It's so easy to fill all the available memory with one program "because it looked OK on my machine".
And, once again, thanks Maxim for the high quality tastefully done images. I bet it took some effort to acquire them. |

But it also eases quoting - or much more doesn't kill it for TheBat! like HTML mails do. Sure, I was too lazy to think about it. I remember the years of various email client users railing against the useless creeping incursion of html into email. Pegasus, Becky, many others. It seems that Sylpheed is the last holdout of any significance. Change marches on, your perception of whether it is progress or not will vary. |
