Interesting points here!!!

I shall now reveal my ancient compuers specs for the first time - and also state that my JC comp this week was ALL freeware!! Los Angeles from bluesky (i think thats the name) the strange aircraft was from here or AVSIM (i dowloaded quite a few from both) the sky is FSskyworld, and although i did edit it slightly, i did that with paint.net, which is also free!

Id love a super powerful computer, but at the moment, having just moved house and about to start a new job after being out of work for some time Sad, its low on my list. But it is possible, ive won a JC, got a couple of seconds, and won a couple of the monthly shot contests, so i dont think its a handicap. Its technique and using what you have to the best of your abilities!

Anyhow, check this,, its worth a giggle...!

PacKard Bell 'Dixons special'
AMD Athlon XP 3000+ 2.16ghz (supposedly as fast as an Intel 3ghz!)
512mb RAM
Nvidia GeForce FX5500 Cheesy
120GB barracuda HD
20GB Maxtor HD slave that i found in a box in the cupboard that the boiler is in, in our new house. Works great!

Cant remember the rest, but ive added a fan to cool the GeForce thats wedged above my Creative sound blaster sound card, and changed the fan in the Power supply thing as it was a bit slow and used to get warm!

I get some super results, but im sure with somthing more up to date it would be a lot easier!!!!!!!!

"In Judge's Choice it's totally up to the judge how they decide. Nothing is 'fair' or 'unfair', it's up to them. If you win one day you can choose to ignore all payware contributions, or stipulate 'freeware only' in the rules, it will be your comp and your right to choose... "

Hence the "But of course, it's your opinion that counts, and I respect that".

All I'm saying, is that I see a lot of judges choosing a certain subject or plane or w/e, but winning shots are judged on completely unrelated (to the chosen subject or w/e) bases.

Personally for me the (typical/untypical) environment in which chosen plane(object) fly in pic is very important...
