That's it exactly! I agree totally with what Kayla says about the "bottom
line" when looking at what type of computer to use.
This is why I use a Mac Classic 2/40 and a laser printer to do my video
scriptwriting and use a 486DX 33mhz with 32mb of RAM to do my technical
writing here at Fischer International Systems Corporation (a computer software
company).
And did I mention that this "old retro grouch from the past" is 24 years old?
