but it is only 4 years old, and the problem is the air card usage, it jams up when the holidays come each year, and I tend to forget it is because, all school kids are out of school, and on the computer, on top of Merry Christmas being sent around the world, on top of (pre Christmas) internet shopping, and the guys that have extended days off for the holidays are just aimlessly surfing...I cannot get dsl, or cable, have considered satellite, but if I just grin and bear it for about 7-10 days this time of year, I should be able to get another year or two out of this computer...thanks anyway... Merry Christmas ... Reggie
