It annoys the crap out of me that my computer completely grinds to a halt when I try to simultaneously:
- Import photos from my camera
- Stitch together a panorama of photos in Photoshop
- Bittorent an episode of The Daily Show Ubuntu disk image
- View the screen of my coworker on another continent
- Maintain a VOIP call with said coworker
- Upload photos to Flickr
- Run a local Apache server to update a Wordpress plugin
- Sync my iPhone
- Have 25 tabs open in Firefox
- Check 136 RSS subscriptions
- Check six email accounts
- Update a Twitter client
- Chat with another coworker
- Run a java IDE
- Compile a 1000+ class java project
- Run two local web applications with said 1000+ class java project accessing a local database server
- Write a blog entry complaining about the slowness
Time for a terabyte of RAM and a solid state drive RAID array, I think...
...or maybe just a reboot.
