=====================
Charles, Thanks for your comments. My comments are below.

CS> EV> My decision to buy a HP instead of having a SysteMax pc built for me wa
CS> EV> based mostly on Price and the included Software in the HP.

CS>Good decision.  HP is the number two seller in the US of computers so
CS>they must be doing something right.  I've seen a number of the higher
CS>end HP notebooks on sale at Costco.  Some of them are very well
CS>equipped.

CS> EV> Also I figured if I bought the SysteMax I'd have to shell out $$$s if I
CS> EV> wanted a Word Processor any better than Notepad or Wordpad on it.

CS>Now that you're running XP, there's a wealth of freeware that you can
CS>download and try out.  Word processors (AbiWord) text editors (EditPad
CS>Lite) and so forth.  Of course you do need a fast connection.

I get 768K downsteam on my DSL line which is better than I did on
28.8K dial-up.

CS> EV> My brothers in-laws are spread around Texas and he called me on the
CS> EV> phone as he was driving back home telling me about this Big Computer
CS> EV> Store that was as big as a Warehouse in Dallas. He said I'd go nuts in
CS> EV> it, I asked him if it was called Fry's and he said yes, I told him I
CS> EV> have heard about it from you fellows on FIDO.

CS>They now have four very large warehouse type stores in the Dallas-Fort
CS>Worth Metro area.  They sell everything from major appliances to
CS>electronic parts.  They even stock a nice line of candy, snacks, and
CS>other goodies to make you fat.  <g>

I'm already fat. I can just get "er".   ;-]

CS> EV> I watched my Friend who built my first IBM Compatible PC replace the
CS> EV> 200W+ Power Supply in its AT case and it didn't look like fun to me.
CS> EV> The Fan quit working while it was in warranty.

CS>Sounds like a job for Super Jean!  <g>  (Our IBM expert.)

When I said IBM Compatible I meant the emphasis to be on the word
Compatible, it wasn't an IBM brand pc, it just used the IBM OS.
----snip-----
CS> EV> All thats now over since I bought the HP. I hope it and I last 12 years
CS> EV> like my first IBM Compatible PC has.

CS>I'm sure it will last as long as you have the desire to keep it and
CS>use it.

Thanks.
