Time Vs Technology
When i learnt seven years ago how to work on computer i was pretty happy. In our institute we used to work on 486 systems with 16Mb of memory with a black monitor and OS was win 3.1.
We used to run the foxbase then and it was pretty fast too at that moment.. development environment was C and CPP and we used to work on TSR in C ( we thought at that moment that we are the only on who works on TSR huh.. everybody thinks like that in his early age ). Yeah so i think that i described whatever i was using at that moment and yeah moreover i was really happy that moment.
Time has changed a lot... we are now in 2004 i work in Java and Using an IDE called Eclipse 3.0 M9 build. As far as my machine configuration concern having a P4 - 2.8 GHz. - 1Gb RAM. Everybody would say that this one is a pretty decent configuration and if i go back in my past and ask the guy who was working then on 486 he might be scared after hearing this config.
But i am unhappy now.
We moved in next generation, changed hardware, work environment everything but still softwares sucks sometime. If you use the latest softwares it's not according to the hardware we have.. i think everybody trying to make the things which we can use in future only when we will be having 1THz Precessor, 100G RAM and some really high configuration.
Every java software is memory hogger at this moment and these one doesn't fit in to the config we are having in this genere. I hope we will try to make it proportional rather making it for future.
