my comments on Vista and laptop....

After using the laptop for a few days.... here is my take....

1. Vista is.... not very good. Gordon wanted to download his trading software (Fidelity Active Trade Pro) and..... it's NOT compatible with Vista. We contacted Fidelity and they tell us that a new program will be out later this year....

2. Vista is.... not very good. We tried to download some m o v i e s. and there are some firewall issues. (this could be due to user error....) The new layout is also confusing. I seem to have a hard time finding some basic stuff like windows explorer!

3. Laptop is.... an ok deal. As many of you may have noticed.... this week's ads were all about laptops! Everyone electronic company is selling laptops with Vista. The good news is.... so far, we have not found a deal that is better than what we have... the bad news is.... i hear there are some bigger deals for the President's day holiday.... oh well...

4. Laptop is..... confused. Toshiba's keyboard feel a little different. The keys are not very standard and I see to be making more mistakes typing. Also, there are some questions about the core duo intel chip.. supposedly it's not really a superior intel chip....

That's all for now... our main aim of the laptop was to download m o v i e s.... and that's not starting out well....
