Go to http://www.browsercam.com - For about $40.00 a month you can do unlimited testing in most hardware/browser setups.

Because of the way flat panels work, you're not likely to pleased trying to use only one for testing at a broad range of real resolutions. To have even the slightest chance of doing it, it'll need a minimum 1200 vertical native resolution. If 1536 or more vertical exists, it might not be too bad, but I've never seen one. -- Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven. Matthew 5:12 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[WSG] Hardware/OS setup recommendations
This may be a little off topic but it relates to testing websites so... I'm thinking about upgrading and I'd like recommendations for what would be the best configuration for a freelancer working from home with a limited amount of space and resources. I'm after something that provides maximum flexibility when it comes to testing in OSes, browsers, screen resolutions. Am I able to do this with just one machine, e.g. a MacBook Pro running Parallels or a PC running some VM software or do I need to have separate machines? Likewise with monitors: do I need to have more than one or will one suffice as long as it's sufficiently large enough?

John, as a freelancer myself I find having a powerful laptop with a reasonably big screen monitor when work at home really useful and productive. I sometimes need to meet clients at cafe or their offices, able to show them the work from my own computer to clients is really important for me. I have a Macbook Pro with Parallels installed, also have a browsercam- pool shared account (don't use it often but I realized it's good to have when my clients couldn't understand my repeated telling them what they see is not what other see from their monitors and browsers ) and an old PIII Dell PC I picked up from ebay few years ago but these days I rarely use it for browser testing because startup XP from Parallels is so much easier and convenient. Parallels Workstation is a fine product, runs very smooth and fast. As a Mac lover I would say go with the Mac however, if you are a PC user, the cost of switching maybe a bit higher. On the other hand, there are so many open source software at your disposal , and many shareware writers deliver high quality, affordable Mac software that don't really cost an arm and a leg. What I really appreciate these shareware writers is that, they produce something so nice from machine they truly love, take TextMate, CSSedit for example. State of the art is the word. Get rid of Apple Mouse though, that is a piece of pricey junk. Likewise with monitors: do I need to have more than one or will one suffice as long as it's sufficiently large enough? If you go with a laptop, having a monitor certainly is a wise choice. Good luck with your upgrade tee *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
