RE: Why CODE instead of LPEX?

["DeLong, Eric" <EDeLong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not just CPU and memory...  I just had to request a larger monitor.  IDEs
seem to like higher resolutions, and my old 15" monitor had me squinty after
a few hours.  These indirect costs really start add up after a while.

I don't think there's a push toward Code, but Lpex isn't 'there' yet.  Also,
there are a handful of developers who are using older PCs because they're
perfectly adequate (or were, anyway!) for the work that we do.  At a
thousand dollars a pop, it is unrealistic to expect companies to replace PCs
en masse during a slump in the economy.  Although, I might weasel another
128 megs of RAM...
