TY sooooooooooo much for all the attention to detail Casper!

So I don't need to upgrade the CD Rom thingy? Okie Dokie! I was really thrown on that one!

Sounds like the basic model was good except for the monitor and memory upgrade?? I can save a lot of money if I delete some of the other stuff.

Oh wait! For the anti-virus thing I went with the Dell recommended upgrade. Sorry for the slip-up...I only printed out what I selected and went from memory as to what was offered and what came standard. It is $74 dollars for the upgrade but I have a FREE 30 day trial included in the package deal. I'll just go with the trial for now and work on it later online or in store.

As to the LapLink info you supplied...here's where I sit like a deer in the headlights when you start talking about networking and broadband and all that other stuff! I don't know what the hell it means but it sounded good! LMFAO! So...I'll research the transfer better before I choose to do anything. I can learn if I can see it done or can follow the instructions!

Thanks again hun! You gave me a plethora of info!
