We'll have to disagree about the compulsion element, but I hope you're
having a nice, peaceful, restful Sunday.

I'm trying to 'work' at the moment, but Windoze has just come up with
a bizarre "I'm nearly out of memory so save your work then close all
your windows" prompt that I've never seen before :(

Are you using a laptop by any chance? I used to get that message all the
time when using a laptop! The only way around it that I found was a
reboot! It's a pain when it happens several times a day but that's the
joy of being portable I guess!

It shouldn't be possible to get an error like that, unless you'e running
short of disc space ('cos the OS can `swap' RAM contents out to disc in
a scheme called virtual memory that all `serious' operating systems
use). At least, not with any sane operating system.

Linux won't give you any hassle like that, and Macs won't either. It's
only Microsoft Windoze that does that sort of thing. Ditch it! You
don't have to put up with all that crap, you really don't.
