10/1/2010 9:21:43 PM It is a good computer, however, over time it has slowed down and I'm sure I've picked up viruses. I would like it to be faster and more reliable. I don't want to worry about being spied on anymore either.

2/26/2010 7:31:31 PM This computer is OK, just OK. The operating system ‘VISTA’ is the worst OS I have ever ‘attempted’ to work with. It is not stable; it is not compatible with older programs that I MUST use for business. Because of ‘VISTA’ I will go to MAC for my next computer.
