Does anyone know what the system requirements are to run csound on a
powerbook.I've been told that the older Powerbooks like the 1400 and the
3400 can't do the number crunchig required to render a score and
orchestra file.Any insight will be helpfull

don't understand any of this thread but less rope sounds good unless i'm
trying to climb out my apartment window (the fire trucks were across the
street again today -i don't know why the phone company building is always
on fire.)

yes

if this is what it comes down to: no realtime here. doubles please.

don't want to step on other users though. is a realtime version of csound
otherwise available on all platforms? (i would think many of the realtimers
would already be using the versions optimized for realtime and therefore
have no reason to object to doubles)
