[ddj] Computer recommendations

[Carolyn Thompson]

Hi David,

Not sure. Maybe somewhere around $1,000 to $1,500 (Canadian) but willing to
go higher if it's recommended. I'm expecting to be doing most data work as
a freelancer from now on, so this will be my main tool - no more work
computer to use.
