Some people might roll their eyes at this but, guess what I learned how to do a few days ago?

    Hi Skip, this one is OK but I think it has problems. I cant access youtube even though the stuff is in place for me to do so as well as play free internet games like: MAhjong Tiles and such. Also, I think the screen might be going out as the upper right corner is darkening after i use it awhile. Im thinking of getting my money back on this oine and getting an Acer from WalMart-which is the exact same price. Ill know more of what im going to do about it in about a week. Im trying to give this one a chance (my brother talked me into buying a refurbished laptop froma place called: Mr Notebook. Im trying to give it a chance but so far, it hasnt done everyting I was told it would do that I was interested in.

    For KAi, ill have your property sent in tomorrows mail. I cant access my emails tonight so have to post this here. I would have had it in yesterdays mail but it was pouring rain outside all day and I dont want to ruin the package.

    Carl, if the computer isn't doing what it's supposed to, and you can return it, do so. My understanding is that the Acer is an OK machine, and should do what you want it to right out of the box. I bought a Compaq CQ-62 and it's been really good. They have them at Best Buy for around $399.

    Hi Lou and thank you. I now have three options to consider, yours, Clints and the Acer ;-)) Im going to give it about another 14 days and if they dont get things working, im definately returning it. I like what you have told me as well as Clint and Luke. I dont know why I let me brother talk me into buying a used one? I paid the same price-tax, title and license for a used one when I could have a brand new one. I might even just waive the extra 2 weeks tryouts as im liking a brand new computer-idea much much better ;-))

    Carl, my advice (for what it's worth), is to dump the used machine and buy a new one. If the prices are comparable, it only makes sense.

    And thanks for the salute.

    Hi Lou, thats what I was thinking and really wanted to do from the start of things. I don't know why I listened to my brother? I mean, he does know some stuff but I dont like the idea of buying used especially when new is the same price. I guess if I have to upgrade? I could do so later in the year. The more I think on it, the more I like a brand new computer.

    Oh and, I tried to give you rep for the advice same as for Clint but, dang site will not allow me till a few others get some. ;-))

    Hi Mark, not sure what? but, I can now post on three sites, each site seems to have things a bit diff including certain terminology so--it will take me quite awhile to get used to things. The JWMB site is the easiest site for me to post pix on, this site is the hardest of the three.
