AND I HAVE LEARNED THE HARD WAY  WHEN IT COMES TO LAPTOPS ,ONE IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER IS THE HARD DRIVE SIZE.

WHEN LOOKING AT A USED LAPTOP, AND WELL LET'S SAY IT HAS 2 OR 3 GIG HARD DRIVE AND  ITS BEING ADVERTISED WITH  W/XP,YOU MIGHT BE TEMPTED TO BUY IT THINKING  --COOL ITS GOT XP......

BUT WHAT U SHOULD KNOW IS THAT XP IS A LARGE PROGRAM OVER 1 GIG BUY ITSELF AND WHEN YOU GET IT HOME AND TURN IT ON ,YOU WILL FIND THAT YOUR WONDERFUL LAPTOP RUNS SO SLOW  YOU WILL FALL A SLEEP WAITING FOR IT TO BOOT UP... SO REMEMBER SMALL HARD DRIVES NEED WINDOWS 95 OR 98.
