Wow. I think I just experienced the 'future of smart-software' (than opposed to "AI".) As any power-user would, I had 2 Opera Windows open. Both Windows were maxed in how many tabs each window could hold and as the massive 256MB of RAM was rapidly eaten up, Microsoft Window's fantastic memory management started to "transfer out" data onto my extremely slow (3200 RPM) hard disk. Whilst the magnetic platters churned away, I amused myself... with nothing much in particular, except for 'predicting' the next tick in our ticking coo-coo clock; do pendulums really have to make so much noise?
Anyways, as half expected, Opera crashed and being the good consumer that I am, I sent in an error report; is it just me or do people actually feel some sort of small hope that when you click 'send', you're thinking that it might actually arrive at an actual computer where some employee of Microsoft sifts through the thousands and thousands of error reports and files it accordingly so that in the next patch/major release of Windows (Vista), the report will be useful and help stop programs crashing...?
When the report was sent, it took another 5 minutes for my poor hard disk to catch up. It emptied the memory and dumped the error into a small file hidden away in some corner of my hard disk. In the meantime... the kettle boiled and I now have a mug of black coffee (sweetened).
I entered the room, sat down sigh-ingly and gently clicked (very controlled) the red-O in my quick-launch. A window opened, it was Opera querying me with 3 options:
1. Continue from Last Session
2. Start with Blank Page
3. Always start with Blank Page
I clicked (1) thinking, 'why would anyone possibly click on 'always start with a blank page''... a few seconds later, to my utter astonished amazement, Opera loaded BOTH windows WITH all the Tabs intact!
Wow!!!
I am loving Phil Collins' melodies even more; this has made my night...
...though my black coffee... hmm... *looks away from the clock*.
