I had a good laugh yesterday. At a demo, the guy doing the demo was using
Windows XP Professional (in the demo he was connected to a Linux box). He
had a laptop, 1GHz CPU, 256Mb RAM, and it took several minutes to
accomplish even the simplest task (over 2 minutes wait to change the IP
and get it on the client's network -- I was surprised that he didn't have
to reboot, but that would not have taken any longer).
My poor old 333 Celeron laptop, with only 128 Mb of memory, had changed
everything and I had time to go through over 30 mails and respond to quite
a few before he was done with just the IP change.
Ciao,
David A. Bandel
