re: #462 Feline Fearless Leader

When my last desktop (running WinME) finally gave up the ghost I opted to not buy another desktop. I ended up going into Best Buy and getting a non-top end HP laptop a few years ago. 16” screen, runs Win 7, and I put the Office Suite on it.

It’s been a good compromise solution. Big enough screen that I don’t really want/need a external monitor. Mobile enough that I can take it places like the game store or a friend’s house for role-playing sessions. Plus I can sit and use it in multiple places in the apartment.

Thanks. I’ll look into it.

The big problem is my dad is unfortunately in full-blown Old Man/I Hate Everything Different mode. I kept pushing him to get a new machine prior to the Win 8 release, but he wouldn’t budge.

He actually made some noises about going Mac based on his drinking buds using them (forget the fact I’ve 18 relatively incident-free years using and fixing them.) I keep telling him he needs to go try one out, just to make sure he’s fine with it. Not surprisingly, he loses interest ASAP.

If it wasn’t for the fact he touch types, I’d have moved him to an iPad by now.
