512K Macs

Problem

Will our MacNail construction estimating software run on a 512K Mac?

Diagnosis

No. Goldenseal construction software requires Mac Plus or greater. 512 K is not enough memory to open estimating worksheets and large accounting worksheets.

Solution

They can upgrade their 512 to a Plus, although it might be more reasonable to buy a new computer.

NOTE-- Here's a tech answer of historical interest, only. It dates from when a 16 mHz processor with 1 meg of RAM and a 20 megabyte hard drive cost $3,000 plus!
