[Leica] Lightroom off on a tangent

[don.dory at gmail.com (Don Dory)]

Interesting comments as I migrated to Mac as my Windows machine would
regularly reboot when using LR even when I proceeded slowly and only after
the hard drive quite thrashing.  I have had no issues using an entry level
Macbook with 2 gigs of memory.  So, I believe there is some basic level
issue with LR and the Windows OS possibly a conflict with memory
management.  The far more computer literate can speak to this.  But, this
made my decision on whether to build a high performance Windows machine to
run image editing or buy a Mac.
