Back in 1999, I was using VMWare 1.0 to run Windows 95 on a Linux box so we could test the websites we'd built. My work PC would have been something like a Pentium 166 with 16MB of RAM. I don't recall it being unacceptably slow, but Windows 95 was never really much of a performer even on bare metal. "Most of my hardware" is considerably scabbier than that, but that's because I collect interesting old curiosities. I suspect that get_iplayer would still run on my Amiga 1200. If your machine is even slower than that, do yourself a favour and drag it to the nearest skip. You'll probably find a much better machine already in there waiting for you. _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
