Re: App to make the solar eclipse accessible

The path of totality is narrow but this one will go from the west coast to the east coast, in about 2 hours. At any given point in that path totality will last less than 2 minutes. No it does not happen every day. I'm sure you can find a calendar somewhere that will give dates of future

I agree on that scott, the lack of a high end processor in the air and more ram. I really don't see what the issue is, 16GB ram wouldn't cause any issues, And a mid range quad core I5 wouldn't generate much more heat so what then is the issue other than marketing -Original Message-
