well I finally did it@  

Hello friend, congratulations for this great purchase at a discount. The features are grand. Here in India the price is going down every year. A compter of this specification will cost here about 25,000/- rupees (1US$=48 RUPEES).
Yes initially Vista premium will look you to be odd but soon you will like it.

Since you have had your old computer since 2000 it is time you got a nice new computer. I am really pleased for you and I hope that you will quickly become used to using it. I got my first computer in 1999 and used it until last year. It had Windows 2000 on it then I used a computer with Linux on it for a couple of months.

A few months ago I got my Dell Inspiron laptop and it runs on Windows Vista Premium. When I first got it I was so used to using a mouse I found it difficult to use the touch pad on it. Now I am fine using it and really like the convenience of having a laptop. I hope that you enjoy having your new desktop computer.

That is great. It is always fun to be getting new stuff, no matter what it is. I am actually hopeing to get new computer or laptop my self in the next few months or so. I think I am leaning towards the laptop. But I guess it will depend on the cost. But I am planing on getting a Dell as well. I think I get a discount through my work there.

Oh ModestahI am so happy for you. I like to hear that people do nice things for themselves. You are deserving! It will be so much fun to have a new computer and learn the new system. You really got a great price, or so it sounds to me. Best of luck with it. If we don't see you on line as much next week, we'll know you are toying with your new computer!

Congrats on your new computer, I know you will be very very happy with it,

I think the fact you are going to get Vista, you need to make sure that all your hardware is compatable, Vista isn't a 'bad' operating system, however, the biggest issue I have come across is the fact that I had to upgrade my printer, for it....I have read lots of posts that say you can't get drivers for many many products...

Do you get a monitor withthat?

You'll be ok, with it, its a decent system....

I might with our tax rebate find another system desktop for us, and give the one we have upstairs Sony Vaio, which is a 1.6 to the kids.

Mooch

Congratulations on your new computer. Well the thing about computers is new products and better hardware are coming out all the time, which will be out in the high prices. As a result the older items will then drop in prices. This cycle happens continuously and hence for an average user, it is best to only buy a computer when your old can no longer work efficiently. So you did the right thing because if you want the newest items, then you will always be buying new stuff or if you are willing to wait for prices to drop to get the newer items, then you will be waiting forever. So well done.

i guess not...but you will find it more faster ..good for you.. having a new one..i was still using my old computer though..wish i could buy the new model..

That's good. Congratulations. I had mine about two years ago and it still is working well. I'd like later on to shift to laptop when I get some extra moolah. Anyway, mine is still functioning well.
