I agree with MaryL about the RAM. It's usually the one thing you wish you
had.

They aren't shipping out till the 19th. Maybe I can still call & upgrade
the
memory. I did upgrade to the full version of McAfee, and got a disk drive
(just
becuase people are always giving me pics on disk for the newsletter, it
was $20
more). I got a dual CD drive and CD burner also, that's about it that I
can
think of.
Thanks for the help, everyone, I really appreciate it.

Sherry

You could check. I bet they can. It'll be really fun and exciting for you.
I always think a new computer is fun anyway.

Karen

I love a new computer. All that RAM, all that disk space. I love
putting my stuff on it, like decorating a new home or office. I play
around with it for days. Ahhh . . .

Opening physical stores was a big mistake for an on-line retailer and
they're correcting it. I'm pretty sure their online operations are ok.
I've never had to contact their customer service or technical assistance
though.

Whoa. I'm getting a new computer for my birthday. I'm so excited.
(Even though it's just a cheapo Dell)....BUT I now have a circa 1996
Packard Bell, with Windows 95. I can't open half the websites people
post, and if I do, it takes forever (if the thing doesn't just lock
up). Forget animated things, and the sound is iffy.

All I use a computer for is internet surfing and keeping up the
little mailing list/newsletter labels for the Humane Society
newsletter, so I never could really justify buying a new one.

Does anyone know, is there any reason I should buy the upgrade and
get Windows XP Professional instead of Windows XP home?

Sherry

Congratulations on the new computer. It's probaly not worth upgrading to
proffesional, it's supposed to be more secure, but Service Pack 2 is set to
be released in June which will have among other things, security
enhancements.

This was an interesting saying I've never heard before. What exactly does it
mean?

Probably that you're in trouble?
