The feerking software bloat and ram prices - you bunch of wimp

By Sam the cat

You know, the last time I really hurt someone was ... um ... <Swipe! ----> Dammit Sam! ... about 2 seconds ago!

I hate winter, sitting around in side all the time, 
having to sleep in front of the heater, 
under the covers of Derek's waterbed, 
put up with being patted and stroked by the flatmates, ugg! horrible!

But back to business, I don't have much time as Derek
wants the computer (strange, he seems to think it's his to
do with as he pleases ... funny things - humans ! )
anyway, I've been watching whats been going on around
the hardware market recently and I'm getting quite pissed off.

Why? I hear you ask. ( you do or else ... ) 
Is someone making bodgey equipment again ?
Is Uncle Bill and St. MS causing trouble again ? 
Has my favourite fish monger gone out of business ?

I don't think so, the thing that has been pissing me off is the price
of ram ... but, but, but it's getting cheaper ! 
Yes and that's the problem. You see boys and girls it's quite simple. 
For the past few years we've all been busily complaining 
about the *SOFTWARE BLOAT* evident in some 
software houses products 

... gee ! I simply can't think of one at the present time ... can you ? 

So here we are, everyone's been cracking the shits about memory 
hungary applications and not having enough ram, and what happens ...
Do we all trot up the the doors of the offending companies and 
mass return their software ? do we write to our representatives 
in our local dictatorships (scuz me ... duly elected .... ) 
and complain about it. 
Do we in fact do anything bar complain ?

No! so here we are, the worlds in the middle of ram getting so cheap
it's going to be given away soon, and now these companies can 
just go on writing really humongously bad code which sucks up
all your ram and continues to fall over. So I'm bitching about
YOU, that's right, Yeah, yeah, I know, you've complained and
basically been told to rack off cause you don't use that Window's
thing ( Does any of this sound familiar Fractal Design ? ) but
you have to keep it up. You have to get others to do it as well,
LOTs of others. 

Microsoft has a 65%+ return rate in the states of Windows'95. 
Most of it because it's past it's Use By Date ( snigger! ) but
a large percentage of it because it doesn't work on 4M systems as
was promised, and now Mickeysoft want's eveyone to use NT.

In my opinion, the best thing that could happen is that ram 
gets *REALY* expensive. Of course, I've now got 32M on board
so I'll be alright for a year or so. 

But remember this, at the present rate of bad coding 
( ... no! who ... no shit! ... ) the odds are that in a year's
time, 32M will be the standard requirement in a computer,
power users having 64M and turbo wee dicked electron heads
at 128M.

So just how far will 4 SIMM sockets go then ? ay ?

Hssss........

Meeeow!
