WANTED: Laptop PC

[LCGoldman]

I'm REALLY beginning to despise Vista (or my company, which still hasn't come out with Vista-compatible software).

SOOOO, I'm posting now in search of a used laptop PC that's running XP-Pro, with a gig of memory.

Anyone got one that there willing to part with for a reasonable price?

forget PC & get with the program.

Mac !

I can't run MAC

Corporate software must run on XP.

Dave,

Thanks... looks like a good deal... but, I need XP, not Vista... I have a new notebook that runs Vista and I cannot run the software I need. Ugh!!

you can buy a mac with an intel chip, that can run both Mac and PC.

But, I'm sure not for the price range I'm looking at.

This is to be my second PC... basically need it just until our corporate software will run on Vista. So, I'm not looking to spend and arm and a leg.

They have others. Usually there is some promo as well (free shipping, warranty etc)

I have always bought the extended in-home warranty for laptops and have always been glad I did - numerous tech calls replacing worn parts at no cost. great service - if you buy it up front. otherwise its an arm and a leg.

anyway, what does this have to do with reefing?

I think for what the Mac Book is it outvalues any othe notebook that can only run one OS.

Gus, let me know when your ready for yours.

 

[DEXTER SOLIS]

all of those things are made overseas, very "anti-american". LOL

 

[gusto1]

Whenever that new OS is out, if you want to start investigating it just let me know.

Thanks Dex,

Why not get it and a copy of XP? For the price, it might be worth it.
