I've done that before too - it works quite well (especially if you set them up to use a single keyboard/mouse). I suspect the main determination of whether a fast machine as the primary development machine works better depends heavily on the developer and what their background is. I've also worked in resource-constrained environments, so I'm always considering the impact of my choices, even when I go for the less complicated option initially. I've also been fortunate to mainly work in places where software development was considered a craft, with pride in what we produced. However, I think I should probably reconsider my viewpoint in light of my current employment ... I despair at some of the code I see ... Tim Delaney
