>OTOH it's a bit like using a low spec machine for development - makes you think twice about the amount of data you push around :-}


I think you have the up/down in the wrong order...

Here are the specs of fibernet http://fibernet.telenet.be/ There's no EN version - but you'll understand the numbers

Yes, about the low spec machine - I did my first foxpro app on a 486 with 12 Mb of memory - made me optimize a lot
