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?

You don't need or want Vista, install Win7 instead. If the
computer
is current, there's no way it'd be delivered with Vista.

I've been using Win7 Pro for quite a while now, and I really like
it.
Very stable like XP Pro, and it's easier. It does take some
getting
used to but not like Vista.




My wife's new home desktop computer came with some flavor of Win 7,
but
other than installing some software on it for her, I've managed to
avoid
using it. She's also got an ancient HP laptop running XP, but only
uses
that to pull in email when she travels. It's a clunker and I think
I'm
going to get her to donate it to some organization and get her an
iPad
III when it comes out, or maybe a netbook. Her laptop weighs about
8
pounds with the powerpack. The iPads weigh next to nothing.

Are you avoiding using it, or do you not have access to it as you
stated before? One of your statements is a lie. Many here have said
you are a liar. This comfirms it.
