And I thought I was roughing it with a beat up TiBook...you people put me to shame :-)
Who here runs on the oldest 'Book (as their MAIN machine...anyone can say they have a Mac Portable while using a 17" PBG4 as their daily machine...that is, anyone with lots of disposable income!) As for X, go for one that can run 10.3 or later. That's when X really hit its stride. In addition the big cutoff for X software seems to have stabilized around 10.3.x. That would be Lombard or Wallstreet with XPostfacto. -John On 1/3/06, Caleb Cupples <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I agree with Vicki on this one.
