For that matter, get an iPhone. The thing is unbelievable.

Camera, GPS, Web browser, contacts and calendar that automatically sync with Outlook on your other computers.

Free apps that tell you what a person paid for their house and what taxes they pay along with their age and who lives next door. Hell, even a level, the Wall Street Journal updated by the minute, and where the nearest Starbucks is and where you are in relation in a satellite view. "Starbucks, 477 yards. 3 minutes walking, 1 minute driving, turn left just ahead..."

I could go on...

Yeah. You think he can return his purchase a year later?

Always thinkin' 'boutcha feet, ain'tcha!

My Lenovo crashed a coupla times, had to restore, antivirus never worked right, so got the free stuff, thing started running so slow I gave it to my parents (they just surf, email, and facebook).

My small Dell laptop got gummed up so I loaded win2k on it, I just use it for illusions (if I hafta), still don't trust it. So...

I keep the large Dell as a backup, which got gummed up too, so loaded win2k on it for illusion software (again, only if I hafta). More often than not, the video card won't kick in, have to reboot, sometimes several times. But it's a backup. Got little external monitors to make the client feel real special on them illusions (if I hafta). Most times just do what needs to be done on a manila folder and take a check, cash, or money order, please. Thank you. Process. File.

My HP desktop went blind, the video card just quit, I think the CD DVD drives were still working though, let my nephew scavenge it for parts and memory. Man, it had everything on it! Funny, I don't miss any of it.

My Compaq just went kerplewy the other night after a thunderstorm and electrical outage. Won't boot. Had lost the CD and DVD functionality awhile back. And ACT would not upgrade due to some "fatal" database error, so had moved it all to Outlook a while back (whew!). Thankfully had Outlook synced via Plaxo so I have all my contacts on my Indie box, which I promptly PRINTED OUT. Email quit working on that box tonight. It never would install XP sp3. I can hit the Internet (email), so.....I'm good y'all, see below.

[Had my eye on an Apple but they's too pricey and already do an apple a day to keep ole doc away, and an app a day to keep ole bill away.]

I use cards (in boxes), a planner, and a pencil and pen, and, oh yeah, a cell phone and a car and a suit and I tend ta wear out ma shoes. I have never been more relaxed in my life. I feel like greased lightnin'! And I Luuuuuuv the heat!

My clients are safe in plastic boxes, and so long as the roof don't leak on my paper planner, my clients and calendar should remain intact. I've also got a long, steel card box with company name and handle on the end that my uncle gave me a long time ago with a lock on the front, so I can actually lock my clients up if I want to.

I've learnt a whole lot 'bout what I don't need, so's I can learn what others DO need, and heck, I ain't barely over 50 year old yet.

Chumps, hope this helps ye in yer computer thinkin' buddy!

Patriot...Always enjoy your posts! Actually, I bought a Dell laptop a few months ago. Used a coupon code and Dell's discounts and got a good deal.

We still have a 4-year old PC (Gateway) that should be replaced. I'm not sure if I want to spend $700 on a laptop or $450 on a PC.

The PC is used by the kids for odds and ends. No more Limewire though. It never harmed our computer but I heard it did to plenty of others.

Definitely stay away from Vista (it is the devil). If you go through dell you will be able to get XP on your system.

Now for the screen size just depends on what you want to do. Games, DVD, Streaming Video you may want a larger screen. Just work and stuff the 14 will be just fine.

I have found the release candidate version of Windows 7 is very good. The evaluation copy is free and good until next June.

All the advantages of XP and Vista, none of the disadvantages of Vista. Been running it for 6 weeks and it's a keeper.
