No kidding! I was reading through that interview you linked to about your setup, and I was thinking "How does he get anything done?" ;) (But I might give GNU screen and zsh a try sometime, though.) Google docs, for instance. I had to use that recently for a work-related, but very casual/informal thing, and this ended up flowing (slowly) out of my fingers: ----------------------------- (I can't believe what a POS this is. This is at least the fourth browser I tried it in (Arora) and is the only one so far that didn't get an outright "Google Docs Error". WinME was more stable - literally. And typing feels just like using a terminal across a 2400bps dial-up with a noisy phone line. Leave it to Google to turn modern computers into 386s. Grumble, grumble. Just had to bitch about it...) Update: Heh, *now* I got a "Google Docs Error" in Arora, too. That makes it 100% so far... ----------------------------- (And no, I don't normally talk in remotely that tone for work, and *never* like that with clients, just in case anyone was wondering ;) ) I'm sure Google Docs is fast(-ish) on that 64-bit multi-core 8GB RAM, SSD storage machine, but when it takes that kind of hardware just to run a what's really just a basic word processor, you know something has gone horribly, horibly wrong.
