Hi,
And when the machine breaks, who would you call, TMG?

It reminds me of a sign in the local fish & chip shop (this is
going back 20 years or so, and some 3500 miles)

'We have an arrangement with our local bank, they don't sell
fish & chips and we don't offer credit'

Let TMG stick to writing software, and leave selling hardware to
others <g>

Bill

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>
