No, of course not. Just apps that can end up hogging the system's resources like Beagle. Only it doesn't. Aside from that *fact* I'd agree with you. Run beagle and watch it with system-monitor, when it starts to hog resources let us know. I think the key here is... it doesn't hog resources *now*. When the majority of people formed a negative opinion about Beagle, it definitely did hog resources. This has colored their (and my) opinion of Beagle. Now that Beagle actually works as it should, a lot of people are not willing to try it again... first impressions stick and stick hard.
So true [something as a sys-admin/deployment guy I see all the time]. I had a conversation just the other day with a guy who was complaining about the terrible addressbook/calendar in Thunderbird. I think he is spot-on with that complaint. I asked why he didn't use Evolution instead - which has a first rate addressbook and calendar. His answer: "I did and it crashed all the time". Question: "When was that?" Answer: "I don't know, probably five or six years ago. I think it was version 1.4 or something like that." Ah. So if he had said "Evolution crashes all the time!" his statement would be fallacious at best; knowledge has an expiration date. Of course I'm guilty of forgetting that myself sometimes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
