Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

Re: the pic of the house, is this the house that I remember reading about previously that you could hear people talking in the garage and found cigarette butts around? Any other ghostly happenings? Any only a fireplace for heating??? How old were you and did you live there long? It looks like a big house and the yard is nice.

I am not sure if the people that have received thier netbooks are aware of it, but the particular 8Gig sdhc card that was sent with the netbook, does not work with this netbook. I called Samsung tech. supp. and they told me they do not make sd cards and this must have been something that Marlboro included, and there was nothing he could do about the problem, so I called Marlboro to let them know about this and they are supposed to get back to me.........we received two netbooks, it isn't the card readers or the sdhc cards........it is just they will not work together.........maybe a driver fix will solve the problem.......or not.

My netbook came today, but the outer box was slightly open the netbook was inside and not opened

Question was the sd card included seperatly?
was there an invoice also/

thanks

I lived there about 5 years ago with my son. It was over 100 years old and that was the condition it was in when we lived there!! Paid $350 a month rent!!! Loved being in the country until we found the guy in the garage. Had cows in the back yard so we always heard something walking around!!! A lot of history in that old house. had a grave yard out back aways and I freaked out the first time my dog came home with a long bone!!! Didnt know if it was human cow or deer. EEK!

I have windows 7 and it downloaded the driver files but I couldnt transfer the pictures to my pc until I instakked the program from the disk. I have a couple of other programs on my pc so it might have just been confussed. (or I was) Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

OK thanks then it's not missing
I didn't want to open the netbook box,. my son thinks he wants to sell it unopened

If it's in the netbook box how did Marlboro get it inside it's sealed
Wondering how Samsung has put it off to marlboro to correct the mistake if it's shipped in the netbook box

I am very happy with the netbook.........after I took off all the useless programs, I was a little surprised at how much I like this thing, and the speed is quite good.......I took a 2Gb usb flash drive (readyboost capable) and dedicated it to readyboost.

The man at tech. supp. told me to try another sd card to see if the card reader worked, I told him it did, then he told me that I had to take this up with Marlboro because it is a compatability issue with the card, and the card was something that was added by Marlboro.
