OpenRadar is no application for a small, a weak computer without graphic accelleration. We need to handle a lot of data, perform permanent Geo to Map projections and display them on the screen, while you
are shifting the map.
And believe me, a small screen is bad for the eyes and your neck muscles :-)
* a screen wide enough to display everything (22'' can show about 20 radar contacts, with two radios and two runways active, if you control a small airport with less runways, 18'' should be minimum)
* a Java Runtime Environment 1.7.0 e.g. OpenJDK
