Hmm, sounds like not a huge weight difference in any case. I guess we are talking about fashlight size batteries, not the type one ordinarilty associates with laptops. So a not-huge difference makes sens.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh, one retail site I saw had the XP version being $40 more. (It was $20 more at MicroCenter, where I bought mine.)

What is the benefit of QuickBooks Pro versus Premier? IT is asking me which one I want.... I am going to use it to track income and expenses for each class we do, and to print receipts for the students, and also to do a end of year report for each class.

Premier is the more advanced version I think. I use Premier because it has a version specific to my industry (non-profit), but I buy it cheap because of donations to techsoup for nonprofits.
Probably Pro will cover what you're looking to do.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
There's a comparison chart on this page: [link]
From the looks of things, Pro does the great majority of what Premier does, but I don't know what you might need of the missing features.

Thank you. I could not find that damn chart!
My boss wants premier anyway, because that is what the other departments use, but I frankly don't think we need to spend the money.

Well, if the other departments are using it, you might want to go with it so your numbers are compatible. Quickbooks can be fidgety between versions, and even years.

Hey. New board.
Zamzar.com is a good, web-based way to convert files from one format to another. They include docx support these days, so you can convert back to doc. Or to pdf. Or a variety of other formats.

I asked a co-worker to save it as a .doc, so I'm good. (Except there turned out to be an embedded Visio flowchart, at which point I decided I really didn't care that much and would look at it tomorrow.)

Tommyrot I wanted to thank you for your help. I looked at both the Windows and XP versions of the Aspire One today. Screen quality blew me away - but the Linpus version definitely had better video than the XP home. Font quality was crisper and sharper, contrast was better, graphics looked better. I'm sure it is a software rather than hardware issue. Linpus was customized for Aspire. Also I called Acer to check if they just send a copy of Linpus for the cost of the disk. Nope, they don't support Linpux on their XP versions. Now since it is linux derived and thus open source I'm sure it is available on the web. But I'm going to make sure my ducks are in a row on this before buying an XP version and searching Linpus. I'm thinking of installation hassles with no support if something goes wrong. Maybe I'll just buy the version Tommyrot did. I mean I can just download Linpus lite from the Linputs website - but I wonder Aspire tweaked their version to get that screen resolution, or if standard Linpus lite will work.
