And honestly, ifyou don't need a new computer why pay just to brag? When I got my vista laptop box, I needed a laptop for work and have done great on it so far. > love lightens all difficulties and sweetens all bitterness. --- St. > Francis --- ----- Original Message ----- From: glenjan42@xxxxxxxxxxx To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, February 13, 2010 3:13 PM Subject: RE: Question for Windows 7 Users You make a great point here about what we actually do with our computers. Most people can get buy very nicely on an XP box and save a lot of money. What you don't get is bragging rights about how high spec your computer is, but you save a lot of money.

XP is supposed to be supported for another 3 or 4 years and by that time Windows 7 should be really stable. (LOLLOLLOL) Now, if I happen to get a 64 bit computer I suppose XP Home (32 bit) will still run. Yes, I am not taking advantage of the power of the hardware but, come on, I am not playing virtual reality games and all that. How much power does it take to read a blamed email, do some word processing and even creat a database with Access?

I have win 7 on my laptop and its just 'different' to XP but nothing to write home about. Mind you, if I'd been using vista, I might have a different feeling about Win 7. Just my sixpence worth.

For those of you who have moved to Windows 7, what e mail program do you use? Also, how do I move my document files to a new computer? Lastly, as long as I am considering a new computer, should I switch to a lap top? Thanks for any guidance and all opinions welcome on or off list, Mitch mitch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
