[AT] So, How do you Like Windows 7? (Off topic computer question)

[Al Jones]

I'll be able to do a lot of it from home.  I am taking a statistics class now that requires me to come to campus to take the tests.  (THe stats. dept. seems to be a lot like the chem. dept. at NCSU--they are determined to do everything just as backwards from everybody else as they can!)

>>I guess really it's too late to ask now.....at any rate, I bought myself a 
>>laptop last weekend.  My old desktop was giving trouble, I have just 
>>officially become an Ed.D. candidate in  agri. education at NCSU, and it 
>>seemed like a good time. I ended up with an HP G60-630US notebook.  I have 
>>never liked laptops. I use one in my classroom all the time and with these 
>>bricks for hands, it's hard to type with any sort of speed.  This one has a 
>>little bit larger keyboard, and a separate numeric keypad.  So so far, that 
>>part is working out pretty good.  I'm getting used to it anyway.

>> We're on dialup with no hope of high speed access anytime soon, so I got a 
>> little usb modem for it.  That seems to work good.

>> I like the "look" of windows 7.  The one thing I have noticied, this 
>> machine can't seem to cope too well with several windows of Internet 
>> Explorer open at one time.  I get a lot of "Windows Explorer has quit 
>> working and we are looking for a solution to the problem."  Then, that tab 
>> will close and re-open and all is well until it does it again.  I wonder 
>> if that has anything to do with the fact I am on dialup and it's just 
>> moving so slow that the computer thinks there's a problem?
>>
>> One other thing. If I go to Google, and do an image search, none of the 
>> thumbnails will show--just little boxes with red x's in them.  If you 
>> click on the thumbnail the page opens normally.  What's up there??  Must 
>> be a setting somewhere that needs to be changed but I don't know what it 
>> is.....
>>
>> I love the DVD player.  Finished watching "Inglourious Bastards" last 
>> night while checking email at the same time!  :)
