The trick I find with the lap top thst has this same spec is not to overload
it with programs..if the person in question is new to browsing, put Opera on
as a web browser/e-mail client..this is smaller and less resouce hugging
than any of the other modern ones. If they need an office suite, look at
something like Ability-it does most things that an 'everyday' user could
possibly want, and is iny in comparison to other suites. Take a look at what
runs automatically on start up, and stop anything that doesn't have to run,
and you'll be fine.
Cheers
Andy
