I'm WAY behind a lot of you computer wizzes. Today I bought, what I thought was a "laptop"....The saleslady quickly corrected me "It's a notebook"....
With my HP Windows 2000 Professional, and an 11 year old DOS machine that I won't get rid of in my office, I had planned to buy another desk PC as a backup. But while in Sam's Club taking back a $15 pair of slacks, I spotted the notebooks. Price was a big factor, and I noticed a Compaq Presario 2178 cl, Windows XP for $997; I guess a lower end HP product, Right? I've not tied in to the cable modem yet but have loaded the appraisal software. I have peace of mind already, knowing I'll have a backup. So far, the learning curve hasn't pushed my nerves to the brink. In fact, it's rather simple to operate. Haven't started an appraisal yet on it, but we'll see. Interesting for me, at this stage of the game. Any suggestions or comments, other than "Take it Back"...
