Mary Lou,

Since to a great extent program operation will depend on several factors that
TMG cannot know ( database size, Video card and video memory, OS, etc.) I
think bare minimums stated for hardware should be taken as resulting in bare
minimal operation of the program <G>.

What I'd really love to see is for WG to work with one of the computer
manufacturers to develope a stripped down machine ( no digital music, photo
album software, junk programs, etc) maximized to run only three programs-
TMG, A simple wordprocessor without 6,000 bells and whistles, and a browser.
Then market that machine with TMG as a package deal to the genealogical
community. <G>
