Re: [MS_AccessPros] Mac Air

That's a surprising report, John, but I do recall complaining to you last
year about a query that was taking more than an hour to run on my Mac, and
you said that actually seemed pretty quick given the nature of the query.
That was with my 8GB RAM and the stock 5400 RPM HD. Since I upgraded to
16GB RAM and an SSD in December, everything zips along much faster.
