Chets_Dev: wharf_rat: we're porting it to Window.... you need 32 meg. Ram minumum to run it Chets_Dev: you probably don't have enough RAM then Empathaur: 32 megs of ram!!?!?! I thought it was small Chets_Dev: well *YoYo_* ya goob says its solarix and os/2 Chets_Dev: it is --> yoyo_ k Chets_Dev: you gotta run it off pure RAM Chets_Dev: so that even runs fast enough wharf_rat: wow, guess i'll have to buy chips Chets_Dev: with being on a 2400 modem and a sparc Empathaur: still, that's damn big Chets_Dev: get them with us wharf_rat: k Chets_Dev: we're offering a package: Empathaur: you could run photoshop with a huge file in ram with that *Pins* do you know who Chets_Dev is?
