My wife has one and it's a nice machine, but it is heavy. and it's
also loaded with Visa, which is kind of a pain, but it does everything
she needs it for, which is a lot more than what i need. She's had no
problem with the machine itself, but the battery died w/in warranty,
and who ever she bought it from sent her one out promptly and a call
tag to send the defective one back shipping paid both ways.


The Geek Squad at Best Buys will remove all that stuff for $25. Not sure if they'll work on any
computer, or if it has to be bought there. My wife's was very clean when she brought it home.


hmmm, I said 'Visa" when I meant "Vista" just now caught it. but you
knew what I meant, I'm sure....


Let's see...Tim's wife's computer was loaded with Visa, which "is kind
of a pain..." Visa, aka Vista, is the operating system on that computer.

Herring says the Best Buy boys will remove "all that stuff" (Vista) for
$25.

I wonder what parts of the operating system the Best Buy boys will
remove, and how well the computer will run without them?
