After a little more research and a few helpful hints from the Vectorworks forums I have taken the plunge and committed myself to an iMac i5 with a bit of extra RAM.
It feels like more of a commitment than just buying some hardware and no I am not talking about the whole Apple lifestyle meme thing either :). It is symbolic of committing to a design career in the garden industry. Thrilling if daunting.

Winding down...apparently
This week has been a lot less tedious than anticipated, mainly because instead of two whole days on professional practice an contract law we had two half days.
Disappointingly there was a no show from the supposed expert in contract law which meant we had a very familiar stand in. It is worrying to discover all this potential litigation lining up against us and almost more worrying because the person talking us through wasn't a lawyer so mostly it was based on experience and educated guesswork.
We all left knowing we will need to get a local solicitor on side to review potential contract issues and the standard T's & C's from the SGD.
Happily I took my cameras along on Thursday so headed out to Waterperry for some spring planting which was good in parts although not as spectacular as their summer borders.
En route home tonight I stopped at the Apple store in MK as my laptop has decided it cannot cope with Vectorworks rendering or site modeling (though it claims to be a gaming PC and has separate graphics card or reasonable spec!) So it looks like business set up costs are going to be earlier and more than expected. Funds are having to be diverted from other projects.
