Devs should be testing on slow machines - Re: What versions of

I think the important bit is 'NEVER REALLY TESTED...' No sane person would attempt to ru na PCI develompent system on a PIC. And you probably do want a reasoablly fast machie to run compilers, etc (yes, I can rememebr all-night complies...) But the testing should be done either on the target hardware if it's well-defined (such on the microcontroller that is to be used) or on a varietyy of machines, including oens iwth more modest speifications if, say, it's tp run on a PC. You ma even find some bougs that way... One infamous editors used ^J for 'justify'. Which menat an extra newline keypress whrn starting it up, if read before the TTY was switched to raw mode, would be read ^M ^J and would justify the file you were attmpting to edit. On a fast machien there was little chance of this happening, on a slow machine it was common. -tony
