What do real world users find?  Am I going to be able to use it (just slowly)?
Or should we be advising Santa that a different gift is in order?  We are OK
on all the other requirements.

Alas and alak a new machine or upgrade is at least half a year away.

Geoff -

Fear not!  Most of the processor-hungry portions of the application are in the
intro portions and the video demos that are included in the prefixes to the
actual code generation.  I've installed mine on a 486 machine, and I disabled
all the intro stuff.  Works fine, but I wouldn't recommend it.  I'm sure it
will run on a P-90, yet slowly.  But, the point here is, only the non-important
stuff runs slowly.  Actual robotic code generation works quite well on my 486,
and yours should be even better.  I'm satisfied, but a processor upgrade is
worth the wait.

Santa's on the right track!  Enjoy!

Ed
