RE: CODE and WDSc

["Bob Cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Booth,

The people I've worked with say 1Gig of RAM is required to make the thing
run "normally". 
The CPU at least 1.8 Pentium 4.
Don't forget your 7200RPM disk drive (most older and many newer laptops have
4800 RPM drives).

Jon, what is the actual horsepower needed to run Eclipse?  



I am still astounded that  programming shop managers think that 512 RAM is
too expensive.  I just bought a 512 stick last week for $39 (after a $20
rebate).  How can a shop give free coffee and then complain that $39 is too
much money?

by IBM in lieu of the Eclipse plug-in? If so, I agree with you on making

CODE open-source.



That's the idea I'm afraid. The comms infrastructure and install problems

of CODE has been killing them for years - this is their way out of some very

nasty code. An open-source group would fix it in no time but .... it will

never happen I fear. Pity though because I think 95% of all RPG developers

will be locked out of the new stuff by the hardware requirements. Many of

the shops I work with can only just about load CODE let alone WDSc.
