"So your beef is that your company won't pay for a new-er computer for all your Photoshop crunching? And you don't, maybe think that the power of the newer CPU's offset the need for all that ram that you think...but haven't experienced, will alleviate your issue? Why not purchase an iMac? Beefier processors, more RAM bays, cheaper, etc? I wish Apple allowed us to buy a "dry box" (don't advertise it but make it a "developer option") where the machine shipped with no ram OR HD. Sadly this will probably never happen." - Braden Douglass

"More of it...you do realize this kind of thinking is exactly why people are attempting to Occupy Wallgreens, or whatever. 1% of users need more than 4 gigs of RAM" - Braden Douglass

"With the "good RAM"... Aww, most people ditch and have a lot of success with OWC RAM, which was mentioned above. What exactly makes "good RAM"?" - Braden Douglass

"Optibay Intel 320 here and as long as you leave the computer on and not doing anything, Garbage Collection kicks in and everything is fine. 4 laptops with 4 different SSD's, not a one has been sent back (and all of them are 3rd party ssds)." - Braden Douglass

"Really, three people liked this comment? If you can't handle installing some ram, buy a tablet.," - Braden Douglass

"I am confused, is this a defense or are you tooting?" - Braden Douglass

"Most of these sites allow the user to heft around flat text files and then upload them as a "post"...wow, that seems way easier than having to HAVE a connection so you can login to Wordpress and hopefully crank out a post before the browser crashes and you lose your work. Now I understand that you could write it down first, copy paste etc, but, why not just write it down and throw it through a static site generator?" - Braden Douglass

"Rob, buy the Air. It is definitely possible to set up a Ruby and/or Rails environment  in Linux. However, the sexyness of OS X is unparalleled and I believe this post shows that fact off nicely." - Braden Douglass

"Interesting, you mod the caps lock key to mimic the control key functionality. I am an avid Vim user and don't use the control key all that often. Just wondering why or what everyone uses it for? Plugins, leader, etc?" - Braden Douglass
