I really have not used it much due to the cramming for the entrance exam comming up this Monday.
But I wanted to line my ducks up in a row with a few answered question, as to which router to use with my cable, how to get the mouse pad to calm down a bit, and burn a back up of the OS while the HD was still clean.
I did start a Word Doc. and immediately missed the Spell Check feature, and do not recall seeing an A-Z Sort option either, so I felt a little Skrewed.

Suppose that is some upgrade I have to buy.
Was kind of unsure if I want to use ZoneAlarm for Firewall and AVG for AV or stick with the brand that came on it. The above mentioned are to only two programs that really work well with my ME os. Most all others cause conflicts.
It appears to be well made, does not get very hot sitting in my lap and have not noted any excessive fan noise...but this is my first notebook and really can not offer any comparison.
The battery seems to last about one hour, which draws a vaccume like a Kirby.
When I find a good deal on memory...I will upgrade. Do not feel the need to burn DVDs, buy the time I get good at it, it will no longer be do-able.
As far as looking under the hood....thanks for the link....and here is what came up.
