Speaking of which, during the transition period in mid-2008 between the chroma key and the video wall, I knew I would miss seeing them use the chroma key and have a nostalgic attachment to it. After the transition period, I was right.

My only PC runs Arch Linux i686. It used to dual-boot with Windoze XP, but I rarely used it, and I uninstalled it in December 2010.

My only box has only 512 MB of RAM, a 1.15 GHz single-core 32-bit processor, and 2 hard disks (roughly 50 GB total), and it runs the 32-bit (i686) version of Arch Linux. I use mainly text-mode/console applications, usually in a terminal emulator in X. I use only a few graphical applications now (e.g., Firefox, The GIMP). I also do not use a desktop environment any more — I use xmonad, a tiling window manager.

Firefox is too large, though. It uses too much RAM, swapping often, and it takes as long as 10 seconds to load. I am considering switching to a smaller Web browser such as uzbl. I already sometimes use ELinks, a text browser, when I do not need something as large as Firefox.

Speaking of which, IntelliStar 22689's Local Ad Sales ticker was gone for a while, but it has since returned.

Also, speaking of 22689, during the LF at 10:48 CT, the narration breaks up during the text-based Local Forecast product. Should I tell the STAR Team?
