Â* It truly sucks that they left the impression it was a new unit . I'm
glad your son was able to step in and help you get it all sorted out and
help you get an appropriate unit . Will he be helping you get it set up
with software for what you'll be doing with it ? Our youngest pushed me
into building my first comp - he started something . Now the only ones
that aren't custom builds are the laptops . And mine ain't "stock" ,
though hers is .
