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 !

The reason to partition your drive is supposed to be if your system crashes, you won't lose all the documents, pictures, music etc. You install your programs on the "C" and save data on "D". That way, if the drive goes bad, it's easier to retrieve the data because it's all in one place. So, when they reformat or replace the disk, you will still have to reinstall all your programs, but you can easily restore your data. Hope this makes sense

Thank you - I did understand the concept, but they ask you for the amount of space you want to put on each drive. It kept going to sleep and said that once you decide you can never change it. So I waited for someone here to answer and looked at the book and called Samsung. They guided me thru. If I had not panicked, I would have looked for their tech # first. All I could think of was to write to SD as they know everything. So now I am off to buy a mouse as I cannot stand the sensitivity of the little keypad. I never had a laptop only a big desk top and they are different. I love the little netbook. Something so very nice for free.

this was a great day for me, one of our ashtrays came in the mail, and my netbook came. no email nothing, just heard someone knocking on our door. great day.

yes it has a web cam .3 megapixel. and yes windows office home and student 2010 with a key.

just be careful the directions mention a conflict with the office and internet explorer. read your directions.

Mine has the web cam and when i called Samsung they said the office home was just a trial offer even tho it has a key. I got a 60 day trial of Norton Netbook. I like Norton only because I am used to it and have used it for years. I just cannot stand the sensitivity of the little keypad as it keeps doing things I am not trying to do - I am going for a mouse right now. Otherwise, it is such a nice little computer. I never had a laptop, only large desktops.

Hey Jem, Ups tracking # says my glasses will be here today. Now I'm a little scared to see what the difference is going to be as I haven't had to wear glasses in 19 years. Must remember to take them off while looking in a mirror.

Are any other outwitters taking the Jeopardy online test tonight? I'm excited, but forget who originally posted the link to it a couple weeks ago.

How much was the shipping on those? I got glasses online earlier this year, and it was something like $30 for metal frames, bendy hinges, and thin lenses.

Those batteries are way too expensive! Last cordless phone I had, replacing the batteries was more expensive than just getting a new one....so I got a new one.
When the batteries in that one died, I got an old-fashioned corded phone with a really long cord. Hardly use the land-line anyway.

Oh, and I got my sweet bonus-gift ashtray today. So stinkin' cute...and very heavy for such a little guy!

Good Afternoon All You Wonderful People!!!!!!!!

WOO HOO got my netbook today no e-mail or anything. e-mail last week said my bonus gift was shipped but that I haven't received, so this was a real shocker especially since I didn't change my order until 12/28/10.
