Who needs all that horsepower? I'm running an old 1 GHz Opteron Compaq laptop, 768M of memory. Runs fine. The important spec on this was the price: free, thrown in the trash by a friend who switched to Apple. I don't use it for anything but running the Flex. There are no extraneous software installs to hose my radio.
If I were buying a new laptop (horrors) I would buy a MacBook dual core Intel. That way I could experience the joys of running MacOS most of the time and boot windows only to run the radio. Of course I'm wildly biased. Jon "never worked for Apple but did start with UNIX in the 70's" On Jan 17, 2007, at 8:08 AM, Jeff Anderson wrote: > I'd also like to find out.
