Finally I have my new computer. What a huge difference in my everyday use of it. I can't forget CT! WOW!!!
The only draw back is that I have Vista which I have to get used to since for over 4 years I was a XP user. I notice I can't click on pic links in bulletins for some reason, or use Yahoo Messenger.
Other than that, I think it's going to be a better experience online for now on. That is, until this becomes a dinosaur and I need an even faster one.
For the computer experts....I got the HP dv9230us model.
Thanks to all who helped me make my decision.
