DEAR ALEX,
THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR INPUT REGARDING PUTTING TOGETHER A DESK TOP SYSTEM
FOR QGIS. YOU ANSWERED MY CONCERNS. BUDGET IS, OF COURSE, IMPORTANT BUT NOT A
LIMITING FACTOR; I DON'T WANT TO BE "PENNY WISE, POUND FOOLISH". I AM A
LITTLE RELUCTANT TO US LINUX AS I DO NOT HAVE GREAT CONFIDENCE IN MY
PROGRAMMING SKILLS AND AM MORE OF A POINT AND CLICK COMPUTER USER. I USE QGIS
FOR MINERAL EXPLORATION HERE IN NEVADA SO MOSTLY COMPILE MAPS FROM TOPOS AND
THEN ADD RASTER OR VECTOR FILES OF INTEREST (GEOLOGICAL, MAGNETIC OR GRAVITY
FILES, ETC.) TO FIND FIELD WORK TARGETS. I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT
INNARDS MY SYSTEM SHOULD BE HEAVY IN SO THAT WHEN LAYERS ARE ADDED OR THE ZOOM
IS USED THE MAP IS QUICKLY REDRAWN AS THE WAIT TIME IS A BIT FRUSTRATING.
FROM YOUR REPLY I BELIEVE I'LL START WITH WINDOWS 7-8 AS MY O.S.
AGAIN, MUCH THANKS.
J.R.
P.S I WOULD JUST LIKE TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO ALL LIST CONTRIBUTORS AND THOSE OF
YOU WHO HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO MAKE QGIS HAPPEN. TRULY OUTSTANDING AND SELFLESS.
