System requirements - Was: Out of Space

[Ralf Mardorf]

PS:

Many users are using computers, that provide headroom they never need
and even with an ondemand frequency scaling, they just consume too much
power.

Other users really need the latest and greatest, just to run Firefox
on some bad programmed modern 3D desktop environment. Desktop
environments they anyway never use, because they actually just use
Firefox and they only need the super powerful machine to start the
desktop session and to start Firefox and again they are just consuming
too much power.

Sure, a CRT most likely consumes too much power, too and the quality
gets worse as time goes by, so if possible such a monitor should be
replaced by something newer. This might make sense, but it makes no
sense to buy a new computer all <= 5 years.
