You can get LINUX for free, run it on any old machine and never have problems with any of this stuff. For maybe $10-$20, you can get a disk full of goodies as well. I doubled the RAM on an ancient l

Yes, but you either need to be computer savvy or have someone on hand who is to do the LINUX thing. It is not rocket science, but it ain't plug and play, either. _____________________________________

And you can run it from a 'Live' CD or DVD without installing to your hard drive to see if you like it...... Get your IT 'guru' to download the Ubuntu 'Hardy' ISO image and burn it to a CD or DVD..
