I haven't used a floppy drive in about 6 years...

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.

April 23? My brother's is April 24. :-)

I don't know jack about computers or their programs, but I wanted to
say Happy Early Birthday and Congratulations on the new addition!

Thanks, Krista! It's the 16th. I hate birthdays. I have a birthday curse,
awful things always happen on my birthday. I lost my childhood dog on my
birthday, my mom on my birthday, plus a myriad of lesser catastrophes on other
years. It's really a weird thing.

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.

One thing I would recommend (even for a "basic" computer these days) is more
RAM. It's fairly inexpensive to jump from 128 to 256, and this is one of
those areas where people usually look back and wish they had opted for more.
XP requires a *lot* of resources.

Yup - I've got 512 on my machine. XP needs memory!

If you are getting the "free"
preinstalled version of McAfee, you may find that you can only download new
antivirus definitions for 30 days -- then you will need to get a full
version of whatever AV software you use.

The version of McAfee that came with my Dell is the full thing - 12 months'
licence all upgrades etc., etc..

Also: does yours include a floppy
drive? You might want to consider it.

Certainly Dell's over on this side of the pond don't seem to come with the
floppy drive but *do* have a CD/DVD re-writeable drive as standard.

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 . . .
