My Precious Baby requires System 7.5 for use of the Quicktime features and Apple Guide help (Quicktime version 2.5 provides the best performance). You can utilize all of the other features in My Precious Baby with System 7.1 or higher provided you have the necessary hardware. A microphone is an optional feature needed for recording sounds. A video in/out card is also a needed feature for importing movies from your camcorder or VCR. Pictures can be imported by means of a digital camera or by having your baby's pictures placed on disk or CD-Rom by your film developer. My Precious Baby likes to have about 3MB of Ram and 1.7MB of hard disk space.
My Precious Baby does not store images, movies, and sounds directly in its database. Rather, the program stores the location of these items (i.e. on your hard disk or on a removable storage devise). Keep in mind that multimedia requires lots of disk room. If you have a small hard drive (less than 300MB), you may want to purchase a fast removable storage device such as the Syquest EZ-135 or the Iomega Zip drive. You can then keep your baby's multimedia files on one or two removabe disks.
