Hey Dennis. Great minds think alike?

Yeah, I have the same sort of thinking as you did with the Fujitsu notebook. It seems impossible to make it use-able but somehow you do.

Lack of reviews are an issue. I'd likely go for it, but I've had more practice dealing with hardware.

It's gone. (attachment) Honestly, something was fishy with that. That computer was listed with computers with 2GB RAM for the same price. And the no reviews made me very nervous. But I was going to buy it. Now I'm glad I didn't.

Vacuuming the cat! Perfect! Yeah. Thanks.
Anyway, now Newegg is going to target me with endless refurbished ads, so I'll keep my eyes open for something with Windows 7 Pro (whenever I take breaks from vacuuming the cat). Thanks for all the feedback (and the sanity). Gregg
