My laptop is a 600MHz single Pentium III, and my desktop is a 200MHz AMD K6II. Both are perfectly fine running Emacs/LaTeX and quite a few add-ons (including the interactive preview-latex) for text processing. There is little point in acquiring more demanding hardware (and in the laptop area, you nowadays have to choose between ridiculously small and ridiculously heavy ones, either completely unsuitable for work or for transportation). And I am living in a country with quite more than average income when compared with the rest of the world that could be interested in running Emacs. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
