What Are You Running Right Now?

[wrldwzrd89]

When I see that an app has no windows open, I usually Command-Q it right away. Are you saying there's not much need to do this?

Yeah - Mac applications are extremely frugal with their memory use when running with no windows open. If there are applications you use regularly but don't need right now, just run them windowless - you'll only pay a tiny memory penalty for doing so, which will not be noticeable.

Dude, your Mac is a Dell!

Not to get off topic, but what do you mean by this? Are you referring to people who use Dell monitors on their Macs? Are you referring to the new Macs with Intel processors?

Anyway I am running the following:
- Finder
- Dockboard... I mean Dock... I mean Dashboard
- Safari
- Address Book
- Mail
- Word X
- iTunes
- RealCalc

Michael Dell was publicly drooling all over OS X Intel a few weeks ago, that's all.
