sorry I didn't respond here - my computer went kafooey again, I was gone all
day Saturday to NYC and yesterday had surgery on my eyelids so limited for
time on computer for a few days - thx for your suggestions - I think I have
kind of decided just to get a refurbished one, decide if I even want or can
use a laptop and then go get one with all the bells and chimes :-) Dolores

I have a Pentium 4, Gateway Laptop that I use like a desktop.
Because I use it to paint with as my HP was only a Pentium II
and PSP 8 would freeze if the graphics were too large even
though I have 512 MB RAM in both.
I also had to buy a CRT for the laptop as the LCD screen
doesn't show true colors. Add to this I also bought a USB hub
with 4 ports as the two on the laptop were not enough for
scanner, digital camera, Wacom Tablet and Pen drive (LOL)
Now the beauty of owning a laptop is I can disconnect all the
peripherals and take it with me on trips. I also have a large
case with holds my Wacom tablet and all the adapter cords I
need to run off electricity and not battery.
My suggestion to you is get the DVD burner, a huge hard drive
160 Gigs or more, 1 Gig or more of RAM with a fast processor if
your intention is not to buy another one for a few more years.
I thought this laptop would be big enough and I bought it a
year ago and now am annoyed I didn't get bigger (LOL)
