A bit of advice, o wise ones...

[ellid]

I am strongly considering getting a laptop. My needs are simple, my wants are few, and I don't need much more than Word, PowerPoint, and Internet capacity.

I've had Toshiba and Dell both recommended to me. Any other ideas? :D

And ... quickly scanning the comments. This laptop has Vista on it. I rather like it, actually. I love what they did with the picture capabilities -- coz I gots lots of pictures. Embroideries and Paintings and .....

Anyway, everything that I run, runs just fine on this machine. (They changed the Help System, so the Help Feature on WordPerfect 12 doesn't work any more, but it's not like I need it any more). I've got Corel Suite 12, Paint Shop Pro 8 or 9 (don't remember which), Office 2003 (I LOATHE Office 2007 with the fury of 10,000 suns. Worse than Klingons hate Tribbles. SPSS 14 ran on it just fine as did some specialty phylogenetics software for Grad School.
