First off, I never said I hated Windows 7. I said I hate not getting media for a copy of Windows I've paid for let alone a way to restore the system from an off the hard drive source. Second off, Preheim computers does not offer Linux pre-installed on an Asus Eee anymore and Asus apparently doesn't either anymore for their laptops. Third complaint, it is extremely hard to remove and/or replace the hard drive which is probably a proprietary size wise and buried inside the laptop case. If I could remove the hard drive safely, that would be the backup in case the laptop needs to go into the shop for a hardware problem. Fourth problem, Microsoft's backup program didn't write any readable DVD's when I tried to image the system with it. What's the point of a backup program that doesn't work? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
