Re: 10 years ago we did the same with 10x less RAM
thank you, bot, for this wonderful bikeshedding thread!
i am not a low-stat fetishist.
my desktop has almost 8GB RAM, and i hardly ever use even 1GB, even now, browsing with ~20 tabs open...
but i'm also not a gamer.
i agree with the assessment that 10 years (and even longer) ago we did the same with much "weaker" (of course they weren't weak _then_) machines.
i was actually surprised to see how "normal" some screenshots form the early 2000s look.
the same desktop paradigm as today.

seriously, you're getting hung up on somebody forgetting (or not caring) to use SHIFT?
@milomak: fwiw, in my opinion that is not a sign of lacking education.
i understood that perfectly well (but i didn't understand your question).
sheesh. nerds.

Re: 10 years ago we did the same with 10x less RAM
About twelve years ago I tried a temporary installation of BeOS on a 266 MHz Pentium II with 64 MB of RAM, and I couldn't believe how responsive it was on such an old computer. I opened several programs and was stunned when they snapped open almost instantly.

Ok. I understand. But why are you tagged as an author? It's some kind of nonsense. In accordance with all logic rules, this topic should be locked or removed.

I am glad the thread was left open because it's been quite interesting so far, do you not agree?

Re: 10 years ago we did the same with 10x less RAM
It seems a few members are still enjoying the topic, no reason to close and lock it.
For those that don't want to take part in the discussion, well, nobody is obligated to do that.
In the forum guidelines, there is noting saying a topic must be logical, nor anything saying that there can not be a discussion on How things were 10 years ago, compared to to day.
How ever, if any one has a problem with a topic, or any posts , instead of de-railing the topic, please use the "report button", and just report it. Thank you

Re: 10 years ago we did the same with 10x less RAM
Ten (a little more) years ago? It still was Gnome 2 and Kde 3 era. It was difficult for me choose one of them, they were good DM at that time. It was possible to use them with 1G of ram, because the browser didn't need much memory to work. I remember I used Opera browser, it was lite and fast.
