Sooo, true.....running XP and doing a disk cleanup with auto hard drive compression and I can still post and surf the web while she is doing it....amazing.

It's also way fast even with all that crap running...normally I would be just bogging.

Check out Avest instead of Norton, it's free and faster than than a mole on a sand flat.

Norton has blocked everything for me tho...so I a little afraid of leaving a good product behind. The whole "you get wgat you pay for"...you know? Although we do use open office at work, and it is a good free alternative to microsoft office. I am happy with the laptop I have. 2 years and it still screams, hope it lasts a little longer because I am gonna be really broke getting through pharm school.

Yeah, I finished my last final at IWU last night. At UC I have to hit chem, org. chem, bio, micro bio, calc, and physics (lectures and labs) for a while, then I actually get to start pharm school officially. It sucks because i would have graduated wiht a business degree in the spring, but it is good because I can make a lot more money and I don't have to figure out what I want to do/work my way up like a business degree. As for the smoking thing, I am not sure. It seems that different things work better for different ppl. I like the gum personally, but I was a copenhagen guy, not a smoker. The new meds seem to work well too. You have to have a scrip tho.
