Hi,
It might be useful to get a slightly larger screen than usual. Alternatively,
some computers support a second screen.

Open-Streeters, I am retired from Miami University (Oxford, OH, IT
Services) and interested in your OpenStreet dialogues and wonderful
discussions forums. I have been following these for a while with an
interest in GIS as it relates to places, genealogy and history (some family
lines from Ireland).
1. Considering a Christmas present for myself and need your
recommendations on hardware (computer) configurations.
2. I could obtain a copy of ArcGIS. Or do you use QGIS?
I would appreciate your recommendations. Perhaps I could help out from
afar.

Hi Thomas!
Most modern machines will more than suffice for the use of openstreetmap
editing but it really depends on what you want to do. I've managed to get
people editing the map using ID (the web browser editor) on a low-end
Chromebook. For more intensive work, you may want something with an i5 or
i7 processor, 8-16gb ram and an SSD storage device. A good mouse is
mandatory.
For editors, many people use JOSM as a local client but depending on what
you're looking to achieve, QGIS is quite popular too.
The community is always happy to get feedback and insight from as diverse a
field as possible so encourage you to pick something, try it and let us
know how you get on.
Regards
Donal
