starship_troopers

i actually haven't used alot of the features in it but i still like it alot more than msn...the file transfers could be better. (i used the windows live saftey scanner for it)

anyone else use this? i have been for a while and i think it's loads better than msn was. :headbang: starship troopers

yeah i know what you mean. the longest thread i've seen there was talking about what kind of top of the line laptop to buy. ended up as 4000+ when i found a link to similar one but with 256mb less ram for 2800

hi just- thanks for the welcome.

thanks! you guys are a huge help. i guess i should have signed up earlier i have been a guest for a while. edit--oh a quick question thats off topic....in off topic forum do your posts add on to your count or not? i don't think it added mine starship_troopers

thanks for the fast answers. and thanks for the welcome.

wow..that was fast response thanks... but yeah i need one for when i am away from my desktop. for working on papers, researching projects on internet, etc. and i wouldnt' need one but i'm away from desktop alot and when i'm home is only when i can work. so i was thinking of getting a notebook for this reason. starship troopers

before i post the link let me say this...yes i know this is basically a crappy laptop but i need a cheap one thats reliable and useful for internet files, etc. but no gaming whatsoever thats why i dn't care about the bad graphics in it. lol just saying this first because i'm also a member on cnet and i posted it there and i got told it was worthless because its not good for gaming....but i dont want games on it. so heres the link notebook thanks in advance starship_troopers

thanks, yeah i was using cablenut at first because my connections weren't very fast and after i formatted (actually got a new bigger harddrive) i came here to do a test and it was this fast...i use firefox with dumeter as a monitor

mine was down for about an hour today along with yahoo, and aim
