*swallow, gulp* all that for writing a manual? I need to contact my manager
immediately, because I'm heavily under-equipped :o))
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.
