Arie, thanks for your response. My son suggested we let her use his old computer. It has also slowed down some with age, but it is much faster...
Thank you.
She's already experienced that, along with her pelvis, arm and leg. There is a drastic mental decline after these experiences. I just make sure...
Unfortunately, she just fell again, yesterday and ended up with another fracture.
Thank you, Bill.
She uses Thunderbird for email. She has the maximum RAM for her computer, which I believe is 2GB, and she uses Microsoft Security Essentials for...

Thank you for the information. I'm thinking of waiting till the first service pack is issued, as long as it is within the first year. I do need...
Obviously, Microsoft is looking for this free upgrade to be a way of bringing in more money for them, but I'd like to know the true cost before I...
Thank you for the information. I'm busy, now, but I'll get to it as soon as I can.
