Taking my (broken) desktop to a computer literate mate next week for an upgrade - it's on XP Pro but wnat to discover if I can at least get to W7 (don't like W8, too new for an old git like me!). He's a Microsoft qualified engineer and can access the complete MS database and download whichever OS he wants with a few clicks. He never uses a mouse and types code as quickly as I am typing this - top guy!
Laptops are flimsy, yes, but they have their uses. I think I might get some funny looks if I carted my desktop into schools to do my online registers or play a video clip for the kids!

Agree with you there about win 8 , i really dont like it , the wife has it on her laptop , and just trying to do the simplest thing on it , is a real pain , to me it would make more sense on a tablet or touch screen laptop , but not on anything else ! , im still on xp so will have to change one day , and when i do it will be win 7

Raffles, a couple of days ago I fired up my desktop for the first time in about 18 months - 82 windows updates for starters

Desktop - bloody great thing with far too much casing around it, and it won't fit into my rucksac!
God, what's wrong with me!? I think you are asking if either of your suggestions would not be a better bet for portability in schools! Either would be better if the bank manager was a bit more tolerant of a hefty overdraft, permanently and with no charges
Sorry for being so dumb, just made a silly mistake on another thread too, I think it must be my age, or I'm not drinking enough, often enough (and no, I don't mean water!).
