Hi, all. My friend wants to dump this lap top and get a Windows 7 os on a pc. I told her that if she does that, she really needs to have it set up by someone who works at the college and who can coordinate everythings so that she can use the Blackboard program with her students. By teh way, the college still uses xp. Thanks for your input with this pproblem.
