Q.
What are the system and hardware requirements to run WiggleWorks Plus?
A. WORKSTATIONS
  • A Macintosh LC III or later
  • System 7.0 or later
  • At least 25 MB of available hard disk space
  • At least 5 MB of available RAM (8 MB for System 7.5 and later)
  • A monitor with a minimum resolution of 640 x 480 that can display at least 256 colors
  • Headphones (optional but strongly recommended), or internal or external speakers
  • Internal or external microphone (optional)

SERVER

  • A server tower with 10Mbits/sec data transfer rate
  • At least 32 MB of available RAM

Server hard disk space required to store WiggleWorks Plus units and installer*:

Program Installer   28 MB
Grade K               150 MB
Grade 1               300 MB
Grade 2               450 MB
All grades            900 MB

*Some additional hard disk space is required to store all class files and, by default, student and teacher files. This amount will vary depending on the number of users and the amount of work saved by students.

Note: WiggleWorks Plus will not run over a LocalTalk network, and System 7 file sharing is not supported.

As with all server-driven operations, performance speed may vary depending on the number of users accessing the same item. Please also note that books being run from server-attached external CD-ROM drives will run noticeably slower than those run from a network-based CD server (tower).
