Thanks P.J. ... could you elaborate without getting to super techy on
why 4 gig would be constraining on 7 vs XP?
And a question for the class... while I think about it..
I want to save about 20,000 emails from Thunderbird to my external
harddrive - where are they hiding? (the external is a 1t seagate)

It looks pretty good, fast enough, with a pretty big HD. The only
potential problem I see with it is the Ram is already maxed out at 4
gig. That would be fine using Win XP, it might be a bit constraining
with Win7.

BRuce,
tahnks for suggestion but...
No no and no - I loathe Macs, I've been using windows for over 20
years .. Using my friends mac is agony. It is NOT simpler at all and
physically annoying . Not to mention I have stuff that wont run on a mac.
It isn't true, either, that macs are safe from viri these days and
the problems I'm having are nothing to do with a virus.
Now boys and girls,
I saw this offer from Staples on line

Comments?
I think the best thing for me to do is get a refurbed computer with
Win 7 on it... Use that for web, and keep my lovely old dell for
working off line , rather than installing 7 on it. I did that before when
I upgraded, kept my old windows 98 bus that had things on it I didnt
want to lose and could only run on that...

Ann, not to be "that Mac bigot", but have you considered an
inexpensive Mac? Sounds like you can use your neighbors Mac with no
trouble. It might just be a more pleasant way for you to get back on
the air again. No more virus worries, simpler to work (in general).
If you bought a Mac Mini for $499 you can use your existing monitor
(through a cable adapter: Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter), keyboard
and mouse. I'd suggest a refurb Mac Mini but they don't have any right
now.
Just a wild thought.

Dell's "Inspiron Small Desktop 3000 Series with Windows 7 Professional"

sign into any site that I go to that needs me to sign in..
