Ideas for novice
Jane,
I just saw your message from last Wednesday, and though I hesitate to
recommend a particular computer, I do have some advice that should be helpful
to you. When searching for a computer, the best approach is to start with the
most important software you will want to use, and buy the computer that runs
that software the best. You may want to look at the messages in the various
sections of this forum, as they discuss the use of some of the programs you
will probably want to consider using. When the time comes to get your
computer, CPU speed, amount of memory, and Hard Disk size are the most
important issues for generating animations. Look for a fast processor, as much
RAM as you can afford, and a large sized fast Hard Disk (greater than 500
MegaBytes and less than 15 milliseconds).
I hope this helps, and if I can answer any more questions, just let me
know.
George
