So how many, this is just for fun and to see just what a Mac can Do!!!!!!!!


My record is 10 different apps that are like simpletext only smaller on my old Preforma 575 (did I even spell that right?)

instead, try opening alot of quicktime movie files and play them at once, look out for any lag while they're playing.
the best i could do on my G3 400 mhz was 4 .mov files playing at once. one of them did lag.

now try the same with VM off. or by increasing the amount of memory assigned to quicktime.
should yield interesting results.

My regular usage is around 15 diff apps open at any one time on my G4/400/128 with 250 VM.
Usually Netscape Communicator, IE5, AppleWorks, SimpleText, Napster, ICQ, Hotline, Hotline Server, Carracho, Audion, AIM, Darkside, PhotoShop, PictureViewer, and Finder.
Thats my normal amount... not too shabby
Oh, and I'm usually burning something in the background, so Toast too.

PUH SHAW! I put all of you to shame!

My record for the Mac OS is 10! Nothing to great I know.

But I once in Mac OS X launched every application I could find. I of course didn't launch any classic apps, that's just nutty. However, I had several dozen applications open at once. It got sooooo sloooooow, but it kept chugging along and never gave out on me.

My OS9 box'll take on your OSX anyday... and win

How about this. As I write this post, ive got 20 apps open on my ibook indigo with 192mb physical ram!

Ill list them:IE5; Acrobat; Appleworks 6; DropStuff; Finder; Icq; Jbindery; Entourage; Excel; Powerpoint; Word; Napster; Outlook Express ; Pictureviewer; Quicktime; Realplayer; Simpletext; Soundjam ; Stuffit expander and virex.

Ok, sorry, I never back down from a challenge.

OS 9.1, full bloated extensions set. Finder uses 52 megs. Opened every app on this HD. Including PhotoShop and the like.
Heres the pic:

Dammit I'll put up the pic when I remember how to link to images in my iDisk.

i tried to open as many as i could just for fun one day and i got to 31 before my sytem had a hard crash

[andypolack]

If you open every window at once it will really stress out your system! Then open a bunch of apps!

By the way, I don't want people to crash their computers for me, I just thought that it's funny to learn just what we are doing with our Macs!

[blizzard]

I'm just gonna pop this one over to the Lounge, as I can't see it having too much to do with games.

Blizzard.

Check that, sorry!
