(IAAC) OT: Software for older laptops

Hi,

When a laptop is acquired for astronomical use, it may

be an older model and underpowered. Two free programs

run well under Win32 on older laptops:

Starcalc:

and Hallo Northern Sky:

is outstanding on laptop or desktop!

Clear Skies,

P.S. The older DOS program Deepspace should also be

mentioned in this usage.
