What? A new laptop with NO built-in CD drive? I've never HEARD of such a
thing! I didn't think you could even BUY a laptop with CD drive in it!
(Hmmm, you used the word "slot." Actually, it's not a "slot"... It's
more of a "drawer" you have to open manually, usually by pressing a
BUTTON on the side of the drawer. Check again.)

Wow you really sound like you're familiar with the laptop. I was
wanting to
use our laptop for Photoshop and the media center. Since there is no cd
slot
how the heck does one put programs on there? I know it sounds silly but
a
few yrs ago I didn't even know what rt click ment or what an icon was. I
don't want to go online with the laptop I want to get out of grumps way
so
he can use the desktop fultime.
right now i'm col(crying out loud)
Thanks again Kathleen
