This question is totally irrelevant to both books, as
far as I can tell. We both try to write books for IDL users.
I don't speak for Liam, but I could care less what machine
you run IDL on. I'm a big fan of machine AND device independent
code. :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. And don't even get me *started* on the GUI-builder, if
that's what is motivating your question. You won't learn how
to use that from me. :-)
