Thank you Glen for the warning and suggestions. I live almost on top of
Ft. Hood here in Central Texas
but all my relatives have been out of the service for a long time.
However I will check with friends.

Avoid Acer at all costs. They aren't good at all.
Toshiba, IBM, and Dell are all good brands. If you have family who are
military you might want to ask them to use their military discount (I know
Dell gives this discount).

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] [LegacyUG ] buying a laptop
Lovely story Flo
We just bought a laptop, primarily for my genealogy. The first requirement
was that it be light because I will be travelling with it. This means that
you don't go with the larger monitor (unless this is a priority with you,
I selected a Toshiba (they have a good rep) Satellite -- not the
top-of-the-line model but the salesman assured me that it would be adequate
so long as I weren't playing games.
It hasn't travelled far and I haven't done a great deal of genealogy but it
seems OK.
I've also been told that Acer is a good brand to look for -- however, I
would not buy the bottom line on this one. My son-in-law got the bottom line
and immediately traded up.
My advice for what it's worth
Hi Flo in Texas
I am enchanted by your story about your granddaughter. Wish mine were
close enough to interact with on any level. I am sorry I cannot help you
with your request but you have come to the right place to ask
Love, Light, Rainbows & Blessings

Hi,
I want to get a laptop to do genealogy work, not able to do the work
twice. Being on SS I can't afford the best but would like to
know of you who have them and use them for genealogy primarily - what
would be the least in memory etc I could get by with. I have over 9800
people from all families I am doing. I am no where near through of
course.
Have to relate something my 8 year old granddaughter said. She wanted me
to go do something and I told her I was busy at the moment doing
genealogy. She said why and I went into a big spill about our ancestors
and how we needed to find out where they were from, what they died of,
and on and on. She looked funny at me and said, "didn't you know we all
came from Adam and Eve, so we are kin to everybody. I wouldn't waste my
time writing everyone down, you just don't have that much time." I
never was sure if she meant hours in the day or years left. :-)
Help!
