i love how beef and teodor's computing is likely to be unrelated to anything in this storyline, but allows beef to say chubby.

Now I have a new way to order take-out.  I think a webcam on the front yard, capturing the struggle, is a must.

Photoshop does not load in under 4 seconds with a 3.2Ghz configuration like that.

When you're Roast Beef it does. Photoshop is all, "is this fast enough, Beef?" And he's all, "no!"

I appreciate Beef's appreciation of the computer, if not any of its actual stats; I confess to also being the sort of person whose response is "that sounds nice" to computer stats like that instead of any real comprehension.

And Ray begins to go mercenary. Whee!

All I know is, at the end of the day: someone has to get fired.

Yo, there AIN'T no 12X DVD Burners out on the market yet. 12X read, maybe, but there sure as Hell ain't no 12X write. And if that drive's just a reader, the Teodor shouldn't really be bragging about it.

Just to note Jough - on my Barton 3200 at 400Mhz (which is for many tasks faster than Intel's 800Mhz) Photoshop loads in under 7 seconds.
And Photoshop is a program that runs better on Intel. But anyhow...

I totally dig this one. I love Ray's method of making the delivery guys compete. I wish they would do that kind of thing in real life, but I fear if I made them try no one would even turn up.
Maybe one day!

I'm pretty sure Photoshop loads in six seconds on my home machine, but I don't recall its stats at all right now.

I have a feeling Ray's front yard will be littered with torn-off remnants of delivery uniforms and such by the end of the week -- the detritus of battle.

I just timed it - Photoshop only takes 8 seconds to load on my machine (1.8Ghz Athlon) but it feels like longer.

It would probably be a lot faster if I didn't have so many filters and fonts installed - it seems to spend most of that load time loading them.
