I'm getting a new lappie

Yeah, I'd get a router so you can take the laptop anywhere in the house and still have internet. Make sure if the laptop doesn't have a wireless card inside, that you buy one. Congrats btw.

Ty :

Sometime early spring, my dad offered me his "old" Toshiba laptop and it was going to need a little work. Well, he took it to have it looked at and then not too long after that, he went into the hospital for some very serious stuff and was in there around month. So obviously, this wasn't the first thing on his mind, or mine for that matter. But a couple or three weeks ago, might've been longer, my sense of time is aweful anymore,lol, he told me the hd was bad and he was going to look into getting a new one for it. I'm guessing that he found this one while doing that. He got it from MicroCenter (of which there are only two in Ohio and the closest is about an hour and a half away , so i pray nothing goes wrong,lol). At least he bought a three year warranty for it,lol.
I just want to be prepared for any and all contingincies

congrats!!

no clue how hard it is to install a new OS... dh takes care of all that. I'm not sure PS7 is compatible w/Vista?? maybe so... I'm sure someone else will know though.

have fun with it!

well, if it isn't, i'll leave well enough alone,lol. It's not like I don't know how to use it,lol. And I'd rather have the PS than the vista,lol.

congrats on the laptop.

def get wireless router.

cooling fan couldn't hurt. I now pretty much have to use one whenever I use my laptop .

i've never felt the need for a mouse. I like the touchpad thing.
