On older versions of the Mac OS, unlike with PCs, you or I the user could allocate the RAM each application used, on a control panel.
I see you can’t do that now, either.
So, just how much did Steve Gates castrate Macs to make them Unix-compatible? And, was it worth it?
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.

in Mac OS X additional memory is dynamically allocated to an application once it needs it. So there's no need to manually give a program more memory.
ReplyDeleteI still like the manual controllability on older Mac OS's; within the minimum and preferred parameters, the OS would still allocate based on the preferences and what programs were open.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but for all the advances of OS X, I still am less than fully happy at what was surrendered.
Get with the times man.
