hello,everyone

my name is Charles,age 46.just bought my first laptop in Feb 2009. Last week,I bought my second one. the hard drive blew on the first. I'm a XP Pro fan (not advertising),just stating my preference. I got into computing because I'm disabled due to a four level lumbar fusion. I'm in pain every day. So I decided to get it off my mind by spending time on my laptop. It works,in addition to learning something new. Glad to be here.
