Well, for a change I'm not writing dub questions to the main list! This time, just some advice and maybe hand-holding ... with a pat/back and "That's all right; you didn't have any choice." I just bought the last pre-Lenovo [?] IBM ThinkPad. I would have much preferred the computer *without* an OS, but hell will freeze over before that happens. Nutshell, it's got XP on it and I'd like to know if I can scrape it off and either give or sell it. And if so:exactly how. It *is* old-fashioned as some reviewers wrote in '05, but it has Only the trackstick or stictrak to move the pointer. No scratch-and-sniff pad where I'll rest my palm. Built-in wireless and built-in cable jack. So: should I just drop in 7.1-R or Ubuntu-XYZ over the Windows or what? The ONLY use I'd ever have to use W is to play my French CD's. O/wise it's useless. thanks for any insights, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org
