        I use GRASS 4.15 on an IBM PC running SCO Unix 3.0.0 with 3GB 
SCSI storage and 16MB RAM but I only have to cover the 100,000 or so 
acres in our irrigation district.  If you have to cover an entire county 
then don't consider less than a SPARC 10 with 64 MB RAM and several Gigs 
of storage.  Whatever your budget, BUY THE FASTEST COMPUTER YOU CAN 
AFFORD!  It will save you more in the long run.  Don't hold your breath 
on the Mac; it doesn't seem to be the computer for the future.  I 
wouldn't be suprised if Macintosh develops serious financial woes in the 
next year as the PC market matures.
