Thanks, Hugh. I bookmarked these sites. I've been needing a new computer. I am currently using a Gateway. I don't know if it's just this computer or all Gateways but I hate this one. System Restore doesn't work. I had to change the DVD burner 4 times because the computer didn't recognize it. I even put Norton GoBack on, thinking that maybe it would override the Windows System Restore, but I can't even go back with GoBack! I was interested in Vista anyway, so we went out and got an HP Pavilion Media Center E6400. I guess it might be one of the better ones out there right now, because every time we tried to go and buy it, the stores couldn't keep it on the shelves. I ended up ordering it with a 22" monitor. Can't wait to hook it up. I have a feeling, though, I will have to buy a lot of new software.

You can get things done, and the security is allegedly better, but it can be a real trial. Networking is a pain, the interface is too different, and UAC (User account control) sucks. It will take some getting used to.
