Hi Michael: About Vista: I hear that there is Vista Ultimate and a number of other other names that cropped up. My computer has 2 GB of memory and the processor is supposed to be 3.6 Ghz so if I upgrade to Vista what should I buy.
I am also supposed to get a laptop when I do my teaching assignments and, here again, I would like some suggestions. Some people recommend a minimum of 1 GB of memory and some people tell me that that is not good enough. And what about the size of the hard drive. And also what is a good brand of lap top I should purchase. I have always used a desktop version and I am wondering whether I can buy a USB keypad to use instead of having to learn the laptop keystrokes. Thanks in advance for any help I can get.
