Now THIS is multitasking - yeah baby yeah!

shows how bad i'm getting: i ran my cursor over your dock and expected the names to appear :p

the question is, how many of those are you actually using?

What, just 20 apps? I can quite easily rock up 40+ on my development machine at work. Even now I've got probably 20 apps open and god-knows how many utilities such as K9, MBM, BestCrypt, Virtual Daemon running....

Well have 16 up at the moment, but that includes TV, radio and a game.

Before you ask the games Eve online not solitare. So yepp multitasking with games too, not bad. Could probably run some more stuff but calculator and winamp dont rally count.

shiz.... 39 web pages, adobe reader, photo shop, imager ready Recording a TV show, Some stupid 3d creator that I cant figure out how to use.... Alcohal 120% downloading a few tolerents... defraging my backup drives, WinRar, win MX, Xchat, and about 57 other processes at the moment... I have 322 megs of ram free and my page file is using 540 megs...

I use all of them, else I tend to close the apps - that's how I work :)

Using 420MB of swap here... and WOW!... I would say the #1 factor limiting me is RAM. Got 768MB inside this here pbook and I find that OS X reserves around 200MB and uses the swap instead - which makes it a bit laggy at times...Since my new G5 is arriving I'll be able to 'shift' some of my tasks to it such as bit-torrent, IRC etc etc.

Thanks for the input guys :)

EVE runs on macs?????????????

He seems to be using a Windows machine...winamp and solitair aren't exactly OS X apps :)
