I almost never have any trouble with it, and when it locks up, I just give it a shake, and it's good to go some more ! I sure like the old fashioned computers. bob |

He (an reportedly his coworkers) are really happy with their brand new HP laptops. No surprise there, given every sales guy loves a new toy, but the when I asked about the OS, it wasn't VISTA. He said all of their new laptops are using XP. Sort of makes you wonder. Is it a commentary on the learning curve for the sales staff, simplicity and compatibility for the IT staff, or a negative commentary on the current state of VISTA? It's a reflection of the fact that most corporate networks are very reluctant to migrate to Vista at this time. We just got 10 D520's and they have XP. You can see on the Dell web site that many/most of the business offerings have XP as well as Vista. The bigger the business, the slower they are to upgrade the OSes on their workstations, e.g., when I retired in 2002 my employer (a NYC bank) was still running NT 4.0 on their workstations, and that was a recent upgrade from NT 3.51 (IIRC). |
