Getting frustrated with bugs... 2005-06-03 - By Hajo ten Thije

Go and get yourself a cheap but certified system. Maybe just a 2 GHz and
1GB RAM or else, but a small, certified card. Use it for XSI exclusively
- most of your probs will blow over.
XSI is defenitly no solution for average people - but how's, by the way?
It's up to you to learn as much as you like. Everyone had and will have
times of unsuccessfulness. It's just a question of how you deal with
your weaker self ...
