[foreverducky]

New dell laptop with Windows 7. Just finished transferring files.

[Tink]

Ooooh! NICE! Hope it does all you need it to, Foreverducky!!!

[foreverducky]

Yep, loads of memory. It also has windows 7 and office 2007. I'm ready to rock and roll for that dissertation. :D

Very nice! I have bought my DH a bright red on for Christmas. 500G hard drive with Windows 7 so should meet all his needs. I'm more excited about the fact we'll both have a webcam and Skype so we can chat and see each other when he's working in Berlin.

[foreverducky]

That should be real nice for the both of you! :yes:

[foreverducky]

i have it on one my desktops, now i want if for my laptop as well :)

[foreverducky]

I know, I want it for my desktop too! Not sure if the cd for the laptop of Windows 7 will load on the desktop though as it's called a reinstallation disk.

[ukwdwnut]

no it wont it will install all the wrong drivers anyway as the dvd is for a dell, may even pick up thats is not on your desktop too, say if thats a compaq it will tell you its not a dell, i had that installing a piece software that was written for my tosh and it flagged it wasnt a tosh i was loading it onto :lol:

and the most important thing is YOUR NOT LICENSED TO USE IT ON ANYTHING ELSE :lol:

[foreverducky]

yeah, like microsoft is hurting for money. ;)

I may end up just buying another copy since it's so nice!

[ukwdwnut]

i know...nothing else out there so they have the market for us windows ppl..im looking at getting another copy, but seeing as i work for the school and have to support it i will be able to use their copy :)

[foreverducky]

Back in undergraduate I was able to my windows and office for $5-$20. Awww, I miss those days.

You should just try it Billy- I installed my 're-installation disk' for my tosh on my iMac using parallels :)

[foreverducky]

What are parallels? Is that a program?

[Tink]

Forever Ducky you are still a student. You shouldn't have to pay full price... :unsure:

[catrancher]

What are parallels? Is that a program?

Parallels is a virtualization app. It allows us poor Intel based Mac users to run a virtual copy of Windows on our Macs. :yes:

So we can have the best of both worlds! Mac OS X running in one window and the blue screen of death running in another! :whistle:

Tom (:macwave:... yeah... sometimes I HAVE to use Windoze. Doesn't mean I like it though!)

[foreverducky]

The decent price was coming my undergraduate school, but I have not experienced that from graduate school.

Very funny Tom. :nono: Blue screen of death is horrible. :(
