> X has had its share of $5,000 toilet seats -- like Sun's Open Look clock tool, which gobbles up 1.4 megabytes of real memory! If you sacrificed all the RAM from 22 Commodore 64s to clock tool, it still wouldn't have enough to tell you the time. Even the vanilla X11R4 "xclock" utility consumed 656K to run. And X's memory usage is increasing.
I just opened up "clocktab.com" on Chrome, the first simple clock I could find by googling "clock," and Chrome's task manager shows it using a full 42 megabytes of memory.
