Laptop reformat

I just reformatted my laptop and it feels brand new again. Fast and efficient. I think this satisfied my want to buy a new laptop. There are such an abundance of amazing deals out there.

I currently am on the vista operating system but still prefer the xp o/s. So getting a new laptop would also force me to adjust to another system o/s windows 7 which might not be backwards compatible with my programs and hardware. I don’t want to be searching for patches and drivers. When I bought this laptop, the patches didn’t work for my previous printer even with the downloaded drivers. I am hoping to put that off for as long as possible.
