I ordered a pc laptop weeks and weeks ago so I could be cool like all of
you. It FINALLY arrived, but with bad software (or something).
Having not yet been able to get on the internet with it, and having spent
hours with my internet people and minutes with the hardware providers (who
quickly say it's an ISP issue) I have determined that the software that came
on the computer is bad. (The macs are online through the router and modem,
for example)
I worry about a bad office XP home edition being a poor platform to run
Office XP (see, desperately trying to be close to on topic so I can ask my
friends for advice), but I'm not sure what I can do. I'm doing a software
re-install now, but I feel up a creek without a reliable operating system.
(The ISP guy actually suggested that he gets OS problems with windows that
never show up on Apple and I just about died laughing).
Any advice or reassurance?
And assuming I don't throw it out the window, do you know how I can move
palm desktop info and OE files from the apple into Outlook on the pc (see!
again flirting with the topic!)
