Look up 'troll bait' sometimes in the dictionary -- it's right next to the deleted word 'gullible'.

Seriously, I could lecture you, but instead I ask only "Why?"

I was drunk

As I just posted on another thread that my Firefox takes up 460Mb with a load of tabs and add-ons running, I would hazard a guess that it's bugger all to do with Gmail, which works fine.

I have a modest 2Gb of RAM in this lappy, and I have two Firefoxes open, Outlook 2007, A console application for a server and I'm using 69%.

I just opened GMail in a new tab, it leapt up by about 60Mb then dropped back down again.

Just have plenty of RAM, that's all.

Many Gmail hangups and stalls over the past year. It is broken. Have been thinking of going back to Yahoo.

JoeMoer,

I get very few, except it asks you to go to basic if you are on a poor connection.

And that isn't very often, and it always turns out to be a poor connection.

I think Google offers IMAP, time to get a real email client like Outlook and be done with that heavy webmail non-sense

"Becoming"?!

And if you think Gmail is bad, trying the unbelievably error prone Outlook connector for Hotmail - M$ have known it's shit for ages, and won't do a thing about it.

Ferk me, even the Symbian GMail app works fine compared to that shit.

Typical of BF. Gmail is crap because he don't know how to use it; or maybe on a crappy Windows OS.

Mac mini is crap because he don't know (or doesn't like) Mac OS X. And then come to tell us what a good and reliable multimedia GUI Plex is. But if I'm not wrong Plex is running on Mac OS X ?

This guy don't know what he is talking about.

Uhm, I'm sorry -- that was somehow in question?

There, I fixed that for you.

Best reason to lay off the booze :-)


[QUOTE]This message is hidden because Butterfly is on your ignore listThe ONLY way to deal with him, and it works wonders -- the peace, the quiet, the harmony, the troll-free environment. (plus an added bonus is that it now makes him work extra hard to try to elicit a reaction via provocation, and that he gets extra frustrated the more he fails)

Where do you find out how much memory an application is using?

I've listened to Filch rattle on about programs being too 'heavy' over a few beers but I've always just nodded and agreed in fear of being bombarded with a geeky computer speak answer, but now I'm actually interested.

There's an app called Activity Monitor that will show all sorts of interesting stats about what the system is doing, otherwise just type 'top -o rsize' in a terminal (without the quotes) and press enter.

Or, in Windows, right click on your task bar and start "Task Manager". The processes tab will tell you what CPU and Memory is in use by what program, and you can click either of those two headings to sort.

Or download the Extended task manager here for even more info....

Because everything it does is already included in OS X.

We don't need propaganda -- we just sit back, smugly grinning, about the various problems, crashes, virii, malware, and security problems that we are NOT having.

Easy enough.
