Hi folks. "What computer configurations does PARIS work well with?" has long been an FAQ here. Mike's multi-core drivers have opened up many new potential configurations, which has made that an even more urgent question.
My skills haven't been up to creating such a database in a way that would make the info easily entered and easily sorted. But the infrastructure to (relatively) easily create such a database finally dropped into my lap this week, so now the work begins.
So now I need to know - what do we reckon we want included?
Also - since the database won't be smart enough to read text and turn it into meaningful entries - we should constrain the possible range of answers to fixed answers whenever possible (and leave room for expansion of the fields too), so how do we want it entered?
Here's a start I made, and I hope you folks can help me refine it before we put it into action and start gathering info.
