Glad that helped. Our computer user group recently got a great deal on Win 7 Pro via an organization called TechSoup.org It provides usually expensive software very inexpensively to nonprofits; and our user group happens to be a 501c3 nonprofit. We had people sign up for what they wanted (i.e. how many copies of Win 7 Pro, 32 or 64 bit) and then placed an order (your group has to get "qualified" first and we are). Rules preclude selling them to anyone else, but for user group members it's a great deal. Our group bought them for $8 each, can you believe??! My aim here is not to depress you...just to let you know that if you belong to a user group or another qualifying nonprofit, there are good things you all can do. Here's the link to techsoup: http://www.techsoup.org/stock/Default.asp?cg=lnav&visit=1 Sr. Dorothy Many of us are also Ubuntu Linux users...and that's free! Most have a multi-boot situation, installing Ubuntu side by side with Windows. I mostly use Ubuntu here at the monastery, and we have 3 others here doing the same; plus I just installed 4 new computers with Win 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 in our workroom. Got another good deal on computers; we've been using real oldies for years...mostly things people gave us. *New* computers... almost heaven! ;^) On Wed, May 19, 2010 at 6:52 PM, <recklessmaverick@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > That answered my question.
