Thanks guys - for the laptop help!
I'll let you know what I finally get, but I'm leaning towards that HP now. Thousand bucks for all
that seems like a decent deal. https://www.costco.com/HP-ENVY-17t-L...100317268.html |

Now that a few of us have suggested HP, you'll probably have all kinds of problems with it. :-) I am also starting to shop for a new laptop. This one is getting a bit long in the tooth although it still works fine. Not too excited about Win 10 though, but I suppose I'll get used to it. |

That is their goal. They want subscription software, not pay and run forever. I have still not found anything I want to do that XP won't do for me. Maybe I should just follow you guys around and pick up the machines you throw away. ;-) Bear in mind I was in the computer biz for 30 years, dealing with thousands of customers over the years. The ones who were most successful always ran a generation or two behind the bleeding edge. Their hardware was field tested, all of the ECs were installed and the "lemons" were history. (imagine the poor suckers who bought a "noodle snatcher") The same was true of the software. Older versions had all of the bugs shaken out. |

One good thing about the two trips my HP NoteBook made to the repair center....it came back with Windows 8 after the 2nd trip and that's what I've been using on it since last July. |

Everyone thinks so. Too bad you didn't take the free Win10 upgrade while it lasted. |

If I have all kinds of problems, I'll just blame you folks! |

I've not had any problems with W10, but it does have some things I'm not wild about, like the 'apps' window. I've still not figured that thing out. |

When I bought my desktop, Win 8 was just out a few months. The dealer told me he'd load Win 7 and that I should wait until the next version *after* Win 8 came out. You must be one of the lucky ones! |
