More memory, etc ...

| 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks

Yesterday while I was trying to understand, why I could not tab from the url bar to anything else, but could shift tab, I decided to use gdb embedded in Project builder. Last time I've used a symbolic debugger was in the Think Pascal days ! Since that I've never had to use one. So happily I've set up one break point and launched Camino into the debugger. What did I do ? Took some time for the disk to stop spinning, and could not properly work in the debugger. This means 416 Mb memory is not enough. I need to buy more. I'd be tempted to add up to 512 Mb and started searching - found what I wanted for $100 and none of those shopping sites would ship to Europe. So I started looking around and found it for 130 Euro which is a lot more in my opinion.
This triggered again my need for a new computer. I wanted to get one in order to speed up my Camino compile times. I did not buy Panther, because the price could be used to buy a new computer with panther included. Now I hesitate to buy more ram because the money could be used to buy a new computer. Any advice ?

I want to buy is a laptop so My current computer will stay what it is , a web server + Wifi router. I'de like to get myself a 15" powerbook the the price is a bit high. Since Ibooks comes with G4 these days I'll take the time to compare before buying.

I've upgraded to Thunderbird 0.4 which I use to read my Camino/Mozilla related mails. I've filled a bug : #227739. I was not able to find a duplicate. I like the new colored Icons. Look is nicer.
