Hi Bob <br>
We use slackware Linux boxes (AMD 64 bit 3200MHz) but thats
overkill for creating met charts, years ago I had grads on a 486 66MHz
doing the job perfectly well. <br>
Grads can get nasty to use if you do complex operations, but the
basic usage of displaying variables and such like is on par with any
other similar package, I would recommend that you install grads then
run through the tutorial, once you've done that you'll be well on your
feet for what you want to do.<br>
You will also find the grads user list a very helpful community.<br>

<div>I have a noob question regarding GrADs.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For those using GrADS to ingest and export model data (charts)
what kind of machines/setup are you running? It is my ambition to
eventually offer some met products on our community site. GrADS seems
like a mighty steep learning curve, but is it really as difficult as it
looks.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hints and tips appreciated :)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Bear in mind I have never used GrADS before so some of my
questions may seem rather simple!! Thank you.</div>
