| > Does start-up time matter? Yes. > Who cares? Me, and my colleagues. > I have three terminals that have been open for almost a year. I have 10s of them open at times. Close and re-open at least a dozen ones every day, because what I do requires that. > Does anything actually require an i5?

Watching this is delightful. > Do you really think we should do as you say & just freeze time, insist on doing nothing? Why not try to increase efficiency and try to do cool things without sucking the living light out of our systems, E17 style? |
