Recommended specs for Windows Development computer.

[Martin Koob]

Thanks Erik for the recommended specs.

Also thanks for the advice re virtual testing.  I have used parallels in the past on an earlier Mac with Windows 7,  I will have to check if my Parallels licence is still good.


Regards,

Martin Koob
