My screen just got smaller, but I’m happy with my new ModBook (pen-enabled tablet Mac). With a Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz CPU, 4 GB RAM and a 200 GB 7200 rpm HD my databases really fly. Haven’t had a pageout yet, and at the moment I’m showing more than 1.5 GB free RAM with my main database active.
Single-term query? A few milliseconds. See Also? Bang – there’s the list as soon as a document loads – which is right away. My MacBook Pro with 2 GB RAM still works well, but the ModBook makes actions seem instantaneous.
Amazing what a difference 2 more GB RAM can make. Not that I’m really saving much time in a day’s work, but it feels good.
Hi, Sergio. Probably had tested it in response to a user request about exporting files from it.
I’ve quit doing that sort of thing for the most part. Not too long ago I installed a utility that was on a user’s computer, to see it it was causing his problems. It thoroughly munged my database. No real damage done, as I had current backups. But I hate to gunk up my computer.
