Additional Comments: It is AMAZING!!! Best Buy had a package deal so I got a desktop, a laptop, a mini-laptop and a router, and the Geek Squad installed it, all for $1,199. I'm giving my daughter the laptop since she has no computer. There are so many features. I skipped the whole Vista era--my old was XP--so I'm just ecstatic.

OMGOSH SEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are my VERY FIRST Windows 7 BuddY LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! :-O)

Congragulations on having it and on your good deal!!!!!

I have been WAITING to be able to talk about it with somebodyz!!!

I got it the day it came out 2 weeks ago on my wonderful new laptop!!!

It was an EARLY B Day present (my b day is november 25) and i LOVE it!!!

It is SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!

I am BAD with computer stuff bu even i and myself too can see how COOL it is!!!

My favorite is the little PICTURE Windows of your active websites that run along the bottom of the screen!!!!

Also I get almost FIVE hours on the charge and the DIGITAL PICTURE Program is very deeply wonderful!!!!!!!

Thanks, Chris. Have you tried the split screen? And happy soon birthday! No wonder we get along (and fight sometimes)--I'm a Leo and you, like my daughter, are Sagittarius. I hope you live up to your creative nature. eom/CaroleA

Well Sea, I am afraid that I do not know if I am living up to my creative nature - but i AM a writer, believe it or not (though not a super succesful one yet lol) ...You know what Sea??? ??? I have been told by folks my whole life that I am SUUUUUUUUUUUUCH a Sagitarius (whatever that means LOL!!!) .... Thank you very deeply for wishing me a Happt Almost Birthday for nov 25 lol!!! .... You know what? I have NOT tried the Split Screen yet....im not super tech-smart but if i ever figured out how to do that I bet it would Blow Me AWAY - LOL!!!!! - chris

Well, I'd just be speculating, but I think they probably mean you are...how shall I put this??? You may appear to be easily distracted--more artsy than bookish. My daughter is totally Sagittarius. You know how to stop and smell the flowers, but when you try to tell someone about it, you may forget. It is really charming (at times). To split the screen, open two web sites, shrink and move to each side. It would be good for a writer to have word processing on one side and research on another. eom/sea

Thanks for the split screen help!!! Sounds cool!!! - Your daughter sounds cool!!! ... I have a bit of a poor memory, though, not all my fault (Noooooo, i don't mean drugls, lol, injury, i mean lol) and...and, in case you didn't know...im not always the greatest with names. - chris

I'm not very computer-literate, but this is sooooo easy. No more boring wallpaper, either. eom/CaroleA
