[rescue] Re: [SunHELP] Solaris 9, First thoughts

Developers should be forced to work on a machine that has 1/10th the speed
and 1/4 the ram of the intended (or current) platform.   Imagine how much better
mozilla would be if it was developed for an SS5-110 or a PI-133 with no more than 64
megs.
The problem is people code slow, sloppy, ineficcient code because it runs fine on
the typical
developer machine (which is almost always better/faster than the typical users
machine).
