Question on minecraft...Does the download program need a fairly quick computer? My sons hand me down laptop isn't the quickest and won't run Lego Universe (for example), but he stumbled onto Minecraft youtube videos and now has been begging me to buy it for him. I was thinking of adding it to his computer for a Christmas present as it didn't look too high tech graphics wise. Do you think it would work? Also, I noticed you can purchase a code for online or download it. Which works best? Thanks to anyone who has dealt with this program.
