New computer, is it worth it?

OR I could just ask for a computer with more ram then I could just use slow mathematica or R or whatever and not care.  Of course it might not be that slow for R since its not that slow it just takes lots of ram.  Which makes sense since it is very memory inefficient.  That would be so much easier.  But it would cost probably 2k for a computer like that.  Crazy that if only they had coded the tests better I could get results instantly!

Then I can also have the nice pretty graphs that Mathematica has too.  Then I don’t have the headache of ensuring that the tests are correct etc.  That would be terrifying if I coded the tests wrong and I reported incorrect results.  So, probably best to just get a new computer…  I think he said he has money to buy machines.
