    I have 8 and so far I like it a lot. It's a bit different, but if a computer illiterate like myself can run it anyone can.

    :roflmao: my wife said she bought that exact same model for the school district when they first came out. Said the school had one in the library and the math dept. had one. Boy talk about an antique and memories.
    I hate all the upgrades and stuff yea have to do to the computers. At least the new models have huge memory.
