Hello to all digital cartographers,

Like many of you, I rely on my computer to produce my fantasy cartography, as well as the programs Wilbur and GIMP.

My current laptop, a 7-year-old Dell i5 6 GB with no video memory, is becoming obsolete as my file size exceeds 4000x2000 pixels. Naturally, I'm in the market for a new system, but I need your guidance to help me decide what model and specs to invest in.

Could everyone reading this memo please specify their computer, including the name (the make), the age (year purchased), RAM, VRAM, as well as the file size you normally work with?

Perhaps we could establish a benchmark to help everyone on the Guild invest in a computer that suits their cartography needs.

I appreciate everyone's involvement in this endeavor.

Cheers,

Peter
