 Hi all,

I have a question. What kind of laptop should I get? Also, should I
get one with Vista or Xp?

 depends on how much you have to spend and I would recommend xp over vista.

You need to narrow the question ... a lot. It's like asking "what kind
of transportation vehicle should I get" (which could range from bicycle
to starship). Also, your choice of XP or Vista is pretty much gone. As
of 6/30 (and in fact, for most purposes, as of a date that has already
passed) all new laptops will come with Vista and XP won't be directly
available (there is a awkward, complex and difficult way around that for
some laptops that have Vista Business or Vista Ultimate).

A starship? I'll take one of those! I don't even care if the warp drive
works or not. :-)

Speaking about what kind of laptops... I just ordered one of those
little Asus EEE PCs. I am hoping it will replace my 9 year old Palm
IIIc. It should, the CPU is like 40 times faster than my Palm's
Dragonball EZ 20MHZ CPU. LOL

You "upgrade" from a ten-year-old Palm IIIc with no connectivity to an
EEPC is like upgrading from a rusty little red wagon to an F16 aircraft!
