"Fons Neelen" | Hi Rita,
Not to offend, but have you ever heard of punctuation? I always find your post hard to read - looks as though you write as you would speak: in one long sentence without even taking time to breathe Best regards, Fons |

"Rita" | I got it Roy at pcworld and there is a box
I want at Tesco's but I will go elsewhere. I have a raid configured linux box that has more power than one of them wind boats in the eveglades. I was sorta toying with the idea of wiping it and installing win 2008 or whatever the next server version is.

"Fons Neelen" | Hi Rita,
> Sorry Fons I'am illiterate or whatever Apologies not needed. Apart from a "difficult read", you're quite funny, though in a strange kind of way Best regards, Fons |

The TV commercial is still running and they are still in stock. I really like this Toshiba and I would like another one without MS Shista. Norton was removed why oh why do builders put that 90 day freebie on a machine that holds your hand so much in the 1st place ? My only gripe so far, but fine tuning takes time. 100+mb of upgrades so far and a few tips from the ms-news-vista group with an almost believable tale that the service pack coming soon will blow us all away I reserve any feelings I have on the OS.

Norton was removed why oh why do builders put that 90 day freebie on a machine that holds your hand so much in the 1st place ? >> No kidding. A neighbor of ours got a new Lenovo laptop for their folks for Christmas, and the damn thing came pre-configued to start no less than: Lenovo Customer Care software (a ton of stuff) Norton (full boat) AOL 90-day Trial of MS Office (including having the full SQL Server 2005 suite configured to start as a service) DisKeeper Corel Photo Manager and Assorted Software and a bunch of other software that I can't even remember. This is on a sub-$600 laptop running Vista that was purchased at a big box warehouse store. The damn thing could barely even run Vista, let alone a system tray full of applications that extended half way across the bottom of the screen. The thing took about 1 1/2 minutes to fully boot. It's like there's absolutely no technical review done on these machine configurations that they're shipping. I can imagine that most consumers will continue to run with all of that crap installed and wonder why they bought such a piece of junk, or return it to the store. What has happened to our industry ? It seems like none of the big players care about the end-user experience anymore. It seems like they're more intent on shipping one big pile of adware than they are at shipping a solid machine. << My only gripe so far, but fine tuning takes time. 100+mb of upgrades so far and a few tips from the ms-news-vista group with an almost believable tale that the service pack coming soon will blow us all away I reserve any feelings I have on the OS. >> Well, let's hope so. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Roy Lambert NLH Associates Team Elevate | Used to be my first action on getting a new PC - format and reinstall the OS. Its "slightly" more difficult these days since you tend not to get the OS disk. I've even had one where the "emergency restore" disk puts all the crap back.
