I had money in my hand, and a sense of determination that I was going to get the best cheapest laptop I could find!  And it wouldn’t have all those gee-gaws and whatsits to gleam and distract me.  It would have a word processing program.  And maybe solitaire.

Lo, I went questing to the City of Circuits, where the shiny gleam of technology beckoned

Your pain: I feels it.

My suggestion: Memory upgrade. It helped me. But all those Shiny Bits? There's a setting to change those so they look Normal. Not quite sure how to do that though.

I had a tech guy at work tell me how to wipe the comp and install XP, or partition the drive so I can pick XP at the boot. I am thinking hard about buying an Eee PC and going from there.

Thanks for the suggestion. I like having multiple plans of action.
