ComputerWorld <http://blogs.computerworld.com/node/13577/print> has an interesting review of the computer Lauren supposedly bought. "This is the kind of setup that sparked the 'Made for Vista' lawsuits." "...has the worst screen I have seen in my life." "...loaded up with trial crapware." "Its networking is 5 years old." "The battery is said to last 2.5 hours. Real-world usage is always close to around half of that." "The thing is almost 2-inches thick and weighs nearly 8 pounds." The poor girl was somehow persuaded to buy a piece of crap. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
