with that many apps, i'd think you could get lunch, not just coffee and
a snack. :)

Heck, sometimes I have twice as many programs open simultaneously, and
lots of Finder and file windows open, too!

That's why I souped up the Imac to it's maximum potential of three gigs
of memory when I bought it in 2007.

I hate having to quit programs when I don't need them and restart
programs when I need them, one by one. It's so annoying to have to wait.

Sometimes the computer seems to slow down, so when that happens, i log
out and back in again and then it speeds up again because it doesn't
have some much data to process at once.

3 gigs is not really enough for all that stuff to be running at the
same time.

it doesn't take that long to launch most apps, especially a second time
and not having so many running means the ones you are using are that
much faster (no thrashing).

Unfortunately, because of the Great Recession, as I've dubbed it, I
can't afford to upgrade to a more powerful computer.

I quit some programs sometimes, such as Acrobat, Preview, and Quicktime,
but usually before long, I need to open them again, so it seems to be
fruitless to close them.

It's like closing my cookie bag and putting the bag at the back of the
cupboard, only go back again to every hour to reach for the bag and
open it and take out another cookie. If I were to eat cookies that
often, I may as well just keep the bag open all the time.
