Hi techwhirlers,
I'm about to buy some new laptop computers for my technical writing
activities. So I'll be using the typical tech writer's toolset: Adobe
Creative Suite + Adobe FrameMaker, WebWorks Publisher 9.x, XMetal, Madcap
Flare, AuthorIT etc.
What do you think I will need in terms of hardware (processor, RAM, ...)? Of
course, I'd like the laptops to be "Vista-ready".
