So, the grass is not all that green...
Punkster,
First, I hope that no one thinks that I am being argumentative with them personally. I am just trying to understand and figure this out. So, if you don't mind, I have a question. My Toshiba has an Intel Video 'card'. Normally, with video cards you see them specc'd with a certain amount of memory. Since mine is integrated is this why it needs to use .5GB of the system RAM? And, if I only had 2GB before, was it using .5GB of that as well?
Does iPhone really have a division between memory types? I mean, at this point are not all of these terms archaic and irrelevant anyhow? For example, RAM -- Random Access Memory -- the 'flash' drive is addressed, it would seem, just as 'randomly' as the RAM, so is there really a difference?
Last, your point is well taken about the Mac. If I am tired of having to always figure out how to make my computer work optimally, then I should probably be on a Mac, but, forewarned, I *may* still have problems. Basically, I just want a computer that works as well or better than iPhone does. I mean, I turn my iPhone on and there is no wait time to use it. I turn it off and there is no wait time to shut off. The apps download and run as expected, unless the programmer of that app has mad some mistakes that cause it to crash, which is then the app's fault, not the OS's.
