Yes I could not agree more. My own 'main' computer has just failed (probably motherboard) and I am now using a single lesser spec.computer. It can deal with everything but not simultaneously without virtually grinding to a halt. It is the small but accumulative things that matter. Hard drive no longer 7200, memory not DDR, memory only 512MB not 1024Mb, processor now 1200 not 2000...all take a toll. Strangely segment loss does not seem to be an issue, although I do not take everything and until my 'main' computer is repaired I am taking it easy... no HRV animations in GSS 4 etc.! Does still surprise me what is possible with a bit of careful use, so for those holding back have a go and still enjoy the hobby with a little computer management.

Douglas,
Thanks for yet more useful comments regarding computer specs for MSG. Especially your last sentence - that should encourage some to 'put a toe in.'
Perhaps some have been put off with the initial considered requirements for a system. 'Horses for courses?' Or, is that oversimplifying the situation?
