- I'd want a 386, myself. If you plan on doing any heavy duty
- processing. But the program will work on a 286. They are
- installed thusly on our school machines.

-
- Yes, the 1024 point limitation _is_ a serious liability, even for
- a student, IMHO. I'm currently a senior undergrad EE, and I have
- been given problems too large to tackle with 4096 data points.
-
- As a junior, I was given problems too large to tackle with the
- student version by any means.
-
- Note, though, that there is a group devoted to Matlab there, and
- this subject has already been brought up there.

-
- I agree, but the matrix limitations vex me to no end...

-
- Ah. I see you've already mentioned it.
