Re: What kind of computer do you use for programming?
Team Fusion has been using my personal laptop (Intel Celeron 1.8GHz w/ 512 mb RAM) for the past two years. Very handy to take into the shop where we do our building and driving. Also nice to have when we go to regionals. This year, I think we may downgrade to a laptop a friend gave me for being a really nice guy. (Any Team Fusion members should stop laughing right now! I mean it!) It's a 400 MHz with 256mb RAM. Not the fastest thing in the world, but if it gets busted then there's no big loss.
I mean really, does it matter if it takes 10 seconds to compile versus 20 seconds. You only have to do it once if you wrote it right the first time.
