I'm now on WinXP with 2GB ram, 3.2MHZ 800FSB with HT and

browsing GFY
converting DV tapes into MPG
listening to some mp3's in Itunes
Outlook is open as well


What else do I need?

And no blue screens for at least months, well my desktop is blue, but that doesn't count

If I were using IE I would have 7 browser windows open right now. I've got the GFY forum index and 2 threads open. I've got the TGP admins open for 2 of my TGPs .. just helps me to remember that I've got shit to do later. I don't have to reload them all the time.

However, I've got them all open in tabs in Firefox.

As for other applications .. I've got 2 IE windows open (one to test html and the other has my traffic trade admin for one TGP open because the menus don't work in Firefox). 3 notepads with reminders, passwords etc. Winamp, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, a few SSH consoles, Outlook, XAT Image Optimizer, Thumbs Plus and 5 explorer windows.

Yes I need all of these open.. even Winamp.. the music is keeping me awake .. lol

This is what I miss Linux for. I'm a huge multi tasker and in WindowMaker I could have all these applications tiled on the desktop and use sloppy focus to easily switch from one to the other. It gave me more desktop real estate too.
