@thoean: Well, that may be true academically speaking, but when you are working on a paper or presentation that's due in class tomorrow and its 3 am and you are working while pumped up on Red Bull...its really easy to screw up and then spend half an hour trying to figure out what you did wrong...

If I get the VISTA dvd with the laptop, I might re-install it...otherwise I think I'm going to be in trouble...

Also, does anyone know where you can buy US layout keyboard stickers?? These things go right over your regular keyboard so you know what's what apparently...
