I started with my 3th PC 'desktop' a compaq presario
with 32MB of ram with a AMD with 233mhz and man I learn patience
it was fun.
The idea is to get a laptop and not a powerfull one with a nice
price and nice system for ldraw.
I'll have to replace win98 when I get the laptop for know i'm thinking
to install DOS/ (NT 4.0 or Linux but if I install linux I'll need to learn it)
