We got an Acer 15 screen laptop, the only problem is I'm having trouble connecting to the internet, the vista platform doesn't seem to connect because it has issues. The smaller netbook does fine with xp. I just downloaded openoffice as a free text editing tool, I thought it was a sweet find because Microsoft office wants me to pay for theirs after the free trial. The program looks like it will work great. If you want your free open office go here.
openoffice FREE!!
