Well, the dual is mine; he can't have it! I guess a better way to ask the
question would be: Am I better off making him his own stand alone box with
16/24/32/48/64 meg _OR_ would it be more efficient to load up my dual
P-133 to 128/256/512 meg and let him login using a 486 with 16/24/32 meg
and a good video card(4meg+).
He's 10, I don't do graphics. One of my friends uses CorelDraw for a
living. GIMP(it is going on the box) is more like Photoshop isn't it? I
really am worse than clueless with graphics.
I don't want him to be a programmer, he has the wrong mindset. He just
loves to make pictures; the idea of animating/morphing his stuff is
causing him to drive me crazy. Every day - is my computer ready yet???
How much of a hinderance is a 14" monitor??
