RE: [wdvltalk] Kaspersky problems - or maybe not... maybe!

[Todd Richards]

No worries!  I'm not sure where you are located and what you have available
in terms of outlets.  In the states, I recently helped my sister purchase an
HP laptop from Best Buy with a 200+GB hard drive, Windows Vista (not my
favorite) and 2GB of memory.  It was right about $849 (before taxes and an
extra warranty).  I was actually pleased with how well it ran.  If you want
XP, then you might have to get from Dell or someplace like that, where you
can still order with XP.

 Hi Joseph -

 As a last resort, try running the Winsock fix.

Todd,

I was going to reply when there was a result to following your 
advice.   But she seems set now on replacing the machine.

I don't know if anyone has advice on the lowest cost for a 
machine a little above the floor of laptops.Say about £400 
[$800]?

Todd,

That makes the prices look similar across the current exchange 
rate [depending on parts quality of course].   I had been hearing 
good things of HP.   She will not touch Vista ;-) so Xp it is. 
There are one or two places tht offer it still beside Dell, 
though I have bought from them 3 times and think they give good 
value for the money.


I've found service good too when my monitor went on the blink 
there was a replacement overnight from Ireland and instant return 
for the old monitor, so minimal hassle.


I see M$ has cut th price of Vista - I wonder what that says... 
;-)
