It is the essence of Microsoft. One has to admit that Microsoft has expanded the operating system to completely gobble up all available resources and still want more. While I recognize that XP has certainly done a lot to "help" the user it sure does require a whole lot more horsepower to run than did DOS. (LOL) How one was able to run WordPerfect with only 32K of RAM is unimaginable in today's software gloat. For that matter, as I recall, when I got my first JAWS installation and Windows 3.0 or so I had a whopping 90K of RAM, a 475K hard drive and I thought I had all of the room anyone would ever need in a micro computer... (man, how stupid I was) I now have a gig of RAM and550 gig of hard drive and I worry about running out of room....

Just curious, what is microbloat? Is it better or worse than microsoft's software. I've noticed that they seemed to have taken the names from microsoft software. I've never even heard of this company. Is it just a different name for microsoft? I'm just a bit confused. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
