My thoughts here - we ALWAYS try to run the application we are documenting
on a different machine than the one we are writing on. When the app crashes,
it doesn't take out our manuals.
Learned that one the hard way...

----- Original Message ----- | Some more serious comments: I use a P1-133
computer with 64 Mb RAM for
| writing, but I used to have a separate computer for running the software
I'm
| writing about (I'm not using it at the moment because I have to
reconfigure
| it). So, instead of one super computer, I've got two regular ones. It
works
| great for me, because I don't have to switch between my word processor and
| the company software all the time.
