I'm typing on my new computer AIFG (well, not yet great since I'm not used to these new-fangled keyboards, but there wasn't much choice about that)!
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

The reason I mention W7 requirements is that all PCs and even most netbooks will come with W7. So if you buy a new computer you need hardware sufficient for W7 - not XP. Unless you have a legal or semi-legal XP disk and key you can use.

I guess we need to wait for tomorrow. I hope she didn't curl up with it in bed. The drool could void the warranty

Pretty. With an i5-460M it definitely won't be pokey.

I assume not. But, unless a computer is actually freezing, I've never had issues with speed. It's just not important to me (which is why I have the cheapest/slowest connection you can get from AT&T).

A Bluetooth question: As far as I understand it, Bluetooth is a specific form of wireless communication between devices. My phone has Bluetooth, and it looks for devices that also have Bluetooth. If I were to get a generic Bluetooth dongle (snicker, lord, what a name) and plug it into the USB on my PC, will my phone be able to communicate with my PC?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Yes, Connie, but you should check to see if you're computer already has bluetooth built in.
