Karen, I would not fret about 32 or 64 bit, I have been 64 bit for years now with no issues. Almost all vendors now have a 64 bit version of a driver or program, including Adobe who finally caved and released the 64 bit Flash. The key is to get a machine with lots of Memory and Hard Drive space. With the extra hard drive space you can then get VMWare and load up as many different O/S versions as you want. With VMware Workstation you can have any OS you want at your fingertips. I have all the Windows O/S versions loaded on my machine all the way back to Win98, although I skipped Win ME for obvious reasons. I even use it to match the different environments and settings of locations that I support.

No solitaire? How about freecell? Todd's computer is Win 7 64-bit; I also don't care for the explorer. Her ad says she got the laptop for Christmas, doesn't want it, and doesn't want to ask the giver for the receipt. Wow, interesting responses. Since I'm not looking forward to Win 7 anyway, forget it, I'll keep the stress level a little lower by sticking with 32-bit. Thanks much!

Wonder why she's selling a new lappy for almost .5 the new price? Ok, I do like the ability to pin icons on the taskbar and launch apps from there - the icons are always in the same position. Doug p.s. It also didn't come with Solitaire ;)
