I use my MBP with external screen, keyboard & mouse all the time. The new ones are fast, & mine should easily cope with Lion
My question about Lion was because 1. on the one hand as far as I can see Bill Scott only builds latest stand-alone Coots (0.7...) for Lion, and these don't work on 10.6 (is this true Bill?) 2. on the other hand, I had a report that ccp4mg doesn't work on Lion (is that true Stuart?) and I need both of these (and don't fancy building either myself) Phil (still on 10.6) On 11 Sep 2011, at 17:55, Sean Seaver wrote: > Dear Herbert, > > I've come across quite a few people that are using mac books as their main > development computer.
