I just wanted to say that I thank you all for your help and generosity to take the time to talk to me. You all have made me feel like I'm apart of something, and I haven't had that for awhile. I'm really excited to get deep into smalltalk and explore this world. Its the only programming language that has me hooked and coming back for more. If I'm talking to much I apologize. I just wanted to thank you all.

Those require more CPU and RAM. I hope this is good enough until you can afford faster hardware. You might also try Phil's suggestion in another thread: keep the Taskbar open and use it to minimize the number of visible windows.
