How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

That's what I was hoping you'd say Amy. The price difference is significant enough to make me wonder, if I could go a little slower on the processor and max out the RAM vs. getting the great processor and getting reasonably good RAM.

(edit: not necessarily you you, but someone you. Thanks, you.)

More editing to replace a missing word. Now I will take my dorkitude back to looking at laptops. Thanks for the help guys.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Shredder update: I took it back and got another just like it. Upon inspection, it appears that the bin starts overflowing when it looks a quarter full from the front, so "overfilled" probably was the right diagnosis.

Now that I know that, I should be able to avoid doing it again...

In related news: shredding CDs is pretty fun.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

question regarding airport express/extreme ...

in my home I have the cable modem in one room (upstairs) and a printer I'd like to network downstairs. Clearly they are not attached to the same computer.

Should I get an airport extreme for the room upstairs to initiate the wireless and then get an airport express for the downstairs office that has the printer?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You'll need some kind of wireless router connected to the modem, but it doesn't have to be an Airport. I have a Linksys router and an Airport Express functioning as a print server and they talk to each other just fine.

That's what I'd do. Assuming you can't move the cable modem to the same room as the printer and plug both into an Extreme.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, here's a really minor issue. I'm used to the websites I've been to recently still being in the drop-down bar when I restart IE. And yet? NSM here with the new computer. The setting seem like they should be there. Any ideas?
