As I mentioned in a separate thread a few days ago, it was opportune to buy this laptop for a freind with a small budget. I actually bought one for us as well since our laptop is quite ancient. I am using ours to work out any teething problems, so the other is setup and ready to go. The lady it is for will have a big enough learning curve without having to deal with any little snags on the way. She is not interested in half of the gadgets this has, doesn't want it on the internet, but does need OOo, Brother MFC (that is next for me to finish) and the CD/DVD drive. -- Regards Simon -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
