With your answer a mobile demonstration laptop/workstation will be within our (financial) reach and looks like the simplest option.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 18 Mar 2014 19:13:16 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Visual-Analytics/Suggestions-for-demonstration-hardware-SMP-for-Visual-Analytics/m-p/147148#M392 Sharedbusiness 2014-03-18T19:13:16Z
