I'm using a Dell Inspiron 1764 with an i5 proc and 4 GB of RAM mainly for VS 2008 development. It works well for my purposes. I do have WP7 dev tools installed as well and went through some tutorials without any pain. I would get a better proc instead of more RAM. On 32 bit Windows 7 you can only use 3 GB of RAM anyway.

lol...i'm not spending perfectly good money on a snowblower. why do you think i made offspring? ;) My Latest: How quickly is the Government spending your money? Tech blog: They Call me Mister James

I hate to admit it but I try to keep up with the latest Microsoft technologies. As much as everyone loves to hate Microsoft they supply the majority of computers today with their software. I personally like much of what they make, if I find it doesn't work for me I usually can find something in the OpenSource community. Media Player lacks the codecs to run most video formats so I use VLC, which is great. Their technologies, on the other hand, seem to be their answer to another technology. Take Silverlight/Flash, even the .NET Framework I think was basically a knockoff of the Java Runtime. Some of them are pretty good but others are just awful and this just my opinion so I'm not going to say which. And yes, I can get the MSDN magazine for free; I'm on the fence about ordering it because I'm tired of sorting through their junk.

Not true. Check out The Deformation Of Strickland Banks by Plan B. A true concept album receiving paludits and full of cracking tunes. (And I'm not on the pay list). I agree about the loss of vinyl but just think FORWARD 20 years. Music downloaded straight into your cortex (brain thingy)? 1Tb on a devicve the size of an ant? Too much, too small, too easy.

Of course, if we were to replace all the carbon atoms in his body with Uranium, we could get a much more accurate date. Should we do it, do you think? :laugh:

I was looking at it a little differently, to be honest: the 'article' crowd isn't necessarily the 'Lounge' crowd. Over the last 7 months or so I've been posting fairly regularly here in the Lounge and, in doing so, have gotten to know some folks in this context. The random passers-by from the interwebs may comment - if they register - but how else would one solicit feedback from the group that frequents these forums? I place higher value on this group than the random public at large, in spite of how random and public the lot of you are ;) That said, I'll refrain from future links. Cheers.

No, this [^] is fluttering... :)

Practice practice practice. It's all about neuroplasticity don't you know? There is no failure only feedback

That, my friend, is a pain to which the interwebs should not be afflicted with. ;) They Call me Mister James
