Thaxs for your super response!!! I love it
Here they come... Let''s start with 32- vs. 64-bit.
(Simple, anologies, articles-- preferred and "not sure or
have no idea" acceptable. I just need input-- no
egotistical, ethereal brain pharts-- well on occasion when
neccary and typo's and 'sp's" no big deal.) In other
words, relaxed yet quality exchange of information that
is healthy which includes clever and fun-- life is short
and ment to be enjoyed. (I have caller ID and I just got
a call from Lawrence Welk-- Timing is everything!
Kingston DDR and I can do that. I will research the
others. My son and I have this strange relationship. I
started him out a four or five, maybe three 1/3?? but
young on a Comador--sp, He has it a month or so and I come
home and it's in pieces, all over the bedroom. $600....
Now he is in Costa Rica somewhere with a chick from
school, sends me a copy of xp pro w/o a disk--it came
with, and the product key. He is a student and waiter in
San Francisco going to sf state in Pol Sci. I try to
borrow a disk--can't find one. Find #310994 get to "You
must use CD to fin. and can't fiigure out how to do
that. Then to wonder if it's even legal -- I''m trying
to ffind a way to buyone. There will be more than one
comp w/n nine mo or so. Park is getting me so got to go.
Ill finish then-- I do not know how to save a reply. CM
