    All this information is good to hear. I will never buy another thing 
from Dell. I bought my newest laptop at Wal Mart for $298.00 plus tax, 
and it's thin and light and has Vista on it. I added 8.10 fully updated 
and it works fine! Vista is another case, since on the occasions when I 
turn it on there are 5-10 new updates it just starts to d/l and it takes 
20 minutes before I can use it! At least Ubuntu just tells you there are 
updates :-)

    This afternoon I will turn on my laptop and change it to POP3, but 
it will be set to leave all email on Gmail.
