but why I need gazillions of cores, multi MHZ and tons of megabytes for only coping files, view the content of a media, or read o view simple text files or pictures?


Because you don't?

A wait now your response will be: but today memory are cheap and computer have tons of memory.Ohh!!! yeahh!! and earth resources are unlimited  because a resource are avaliable in quantity not means that you should waste it.


WTF? Did you also say that when the Amiga appeared on the market?
Fransexy says: "Don't buy this new technology, I tell ya, nobody needs a blitter for viewing text files or coding machine code!!1! It's a waste of earth resources to build it! Everybody should keep using their VIC-20, ok, you can run Defender of the Crown on this Amiga, but who need 512kb of memory just for copying files! And who needs a GUI anyway? It's much faster to just type the commands and it doesn't have to boot something like a Workbench!!1!"  :crazy:  :lol:

I don´t say don´t buy this technology, I say don´t waste it, if you could do the same with less memory, why waste it? only because you have 10X time more?


Let me see, nowadays you can hardly find a pre-build computer with less than 512MB, most come with 1GB or even more. I see no reason why I should use an OS that only utilizes 10% of that when "copying files, watching media, viewing textfiles". _That_ would be a waste. Or is there a way of sharing that unused amount of 900MB with some poor kids in Ethiopia, I mean, just to save valuable earth resources?  :lol:
