Which is why, with anything like that, you only go with ones that are pick up only. You check it out thoroughly before handing over the money, insuring it has a legit COA and any disks needed etc, so you can format and reinstall before using it. |

Thanks Wainuitech. The biggest problem in business machines is of course the graphics ability. That is what is making this so difficult. |
