Relieved to know I am not the only one..... Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Wed, 15 Jun 2016 06:50:10 In Reply to: Great Idea, JMJinNC, Wed, 15 Jun 2016 06:19:26 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I have been running my WIS and EPC programs within a virtual XP machine on our home desktop. The O/S is 64 bit Win 7 Pro, the ease of use has been frustratingly bad. Log-in to the VM is awkward, booting of the VM is extremely slow, and far too often I fat finger myself completely out of the VM when I only want to close/reduce the WIS or EPC program. Obvious user error but it then requires a restart of the whole slow VM process all over again.
Standard used laptops are cheaper but the cost of these refurbished Toughbooks has dropped significantly. Still a bit of a vanity purchase to have a Toughbookbut a much cheaper one now. A single accidental drop of the computer to the garage floor will yield a positive pay-back compared to used standard laptops.
