Quickbooks File Size Question

Math

Just how big do you think enterprise makes that file?

It depends. If your drive currently has 79.8 gigabytes of cat pictures, you may not have enough room.

Take no chances.

Next box of CrackerJacks, get the 160GB drive from the bottom of the box and install it as a secondary drive.

Considering how low hard drive prices are now, how bloated Vista will be, and how bloated other programs are i'd go for the largest drive you can as well as the most memory you can afford.

The problme here is Windows Vista is a moving target, but it is safe to say you'll need a huge hard drive and a ton of memory.

But considering how low hard drive prices are now i'd go with the largest drive you can afford.

Where prey tell do you buy your Cracker Jacks? Around here our Cracker Jacks only have super cheap stuff.

Vista willl occupy about 50 Gigs of disk storage.

And you know this how? Considering what i'm hearing about the beta tests as well as new looming threats i'd expect a delay of many years and an OS that will be much larger.

Vista is the equivalant of re-arranging chairs on the titanic.

The problem is....Vista is a moving target. Specs can and will change.

Multiply the gigs by about 10-20?

The more sotfware Micro$oft comes out with the more i'm convinced they own stock big time in hard drive manufacturers.

It's a matter of public record from Gates' own comments that the bloat and the excessive storage requirements in Winblows and *all* Winblows applications is by design, it was implemented since M$'s early days, and its purpose is to be able to manipulate hardware manufacturers by exploiting their increased sales due to user need for more hardware.

Hardware performance always lead software design and capabilities by at least two orders of magnitude, but since Winblows stole the OS market for PCs (using illegal practices), the intentional bloat has been increasing at such a rate that now hardware is at even 4 orders of magnitude more capable than the OS and apps they run.

Meaning, when current mass market OS and apps need 1 computational unit for an optimal performance, the average hardware available is capable enough of performing 10,000 c.u. as it is, with no additional resources needed.

All that ties back to Slowbooks (credit to Golden California Girls for the name) because in the past 20 years the whole commercial software sector has adopted the exact same approach, by intentionally dumping bloat into their products at the expense of functionality, efficiency and usability. Slowbooks is an excellent example of this incompetence-by-design.

I've searched and searched and can find no instance where Gates said his purpose was to "manipulate hardware manufacturers by exploiting sales."

I think you made that up.

Well, duh. You can't put ten pounds of pickles in a five pound sack.

Huh?

And the driving purpose for this intentional, though secret, dilapidation is what? To mask alien abductions? A Communist conspiracy? Part of the march of abortion rights? Using CPU processing to increase global warming?

Good Lord! With tens of thousands of developers involved in this cabal, it's a wonder the government's not behind it (or, shudder, maybe IT IS!).

No question about it: we're doomed.

Everyone knows Madona is the leader of this conspiracy.

The purpose is to get the alien abuctees when they return to be members of the 4400.

She can lead me.

I even have the Cliff Notes to her book, "Sex."
