On this computer, I have 3 Terminal Services windows open, IRC open in one of the TS windows, 2 copies of Internet Explorer open, hugs open in a putty/SSH session, Notepad for random notes, Microsoft Infopath as I pull expense information for tax purposes, a FTP client synchronizing files, 4 MSN windows open, 5 Trillian message conversations, Microsoft Outlook, a command window, and calculator.
I also have another desktop with LCD monitor sitting on my desk. It has MP3s playing with 4 Windows Explorer windows open to my file server for any other media I'd like to play (movies, etc.) I'm also burning DVDs with Nero.
This is why I have 1.5 GB of RAM on my IBM T40. Why I have to replace my keyboard on my laptop every 6 mos because its worn out. I don't own a computer/server with any less than 768 MB of RAM.
