Picture 14

ok i am wondering if i have beaten this (just now) : i.gizmodo.com/5145145/mac-os-x-running-200-apps-keeps-the...

 

not really sure but my mac now refuses to run more apps with a "this operation could not be completed. an unexpected error occurred (error code -10810)" that i guess means too many apps, or maybe too many threads (also until i quite one or two apps, i could not screen shot, it just did not work -- i guess screen shot is an app / thread to its self, so can't launch)

 

if not beaten in number of apps, then i def feel i win in number of "heavy weight" apps :

 

"heavy weight" apps running are:

1) adobe creative suite CS 3 design premium -- ever app in it (so photoshop, dreamweaver (eugh!!!) indesign, illustrator etc... )

2) Final cut studio -- ever app (final cut pro, compressor, qmaster dvd studio pro, motion etc..)

3)Sling player

4)Virtual box running : win xp pro with a gb of ram, Crunch Bang Linux with about 768 mb ram

5)Xcode, iphone simulator etc..

6)Filemaker

7)The flux (brilliant web design app, though think its more of a memory leaker than a true "heavy weight app" :-)

8)google earth (version 5)

9) Microsoft office 2008 -- all of it

10) apple iwork 09 -- all 3 apps

11) eclipse IDE

12) omnigrafle, omnioutliner

 

 

and then the usual ical, safari, few bit torrent apps, text editors itunes, remote desktop apps, sketchup, vlc abiword, terminal and a few hundred more ......

 

 

 

machine spec b4 you ask :

 

 

mac pro 8-core 2.8ghz xeon

10gb 800 Mhz ram

2 1tb samsung drives in software raid 0

30" NEC 3090 display
