thanks for the  OSX Human Interface Guidelines link!

600x800 on a Mac that is able to stitch images? That must be an iPod ;-) 
Even my old 7500/100 has more onboard VRAM but I won't try to install 
OSX on it: http://www.apple-history.com -> 1995

I guess my 867 MHz G4 (2001 "Quicksilver") is more of a bottom line 
configuration for something that heavily deals with images, isn't it? 
Better take a Mac mini or an eMac as an example for the minimum 
requirements.

The "iMac (Summer 2000)" has 350 MHz and can hold up to 1 GB RAM.
Video Card: ATI RAGE 128 Pro
VRAM: 8 MB SGRAM
Maximum Resolution: 24 bit 1024x768

Luca, do you have something like that available at your University? 
It'll be fun to try stitching with such a machine at the Venice meeting, 
maybe photos from someone's cell phone :-)
