Woe is me

My Winbook XP5 refurbished laptop, purchased 7 months ago at a bargain price (you get what you pay for?) and an optional 3 year warranty is now on its merry way back for a fourth servicing. It has only been home for 2 weeks after the motherboard was replaced.

I use it for Quicken, Word Processing, and for Procomm Plus access to our main system. It is used a bit daily.

I am talking with Winbook about extracting my data, and getting a new computer (they'll refund the price).

Does anyone have any comments/suggestions about what type and which brand to buy? Any experience with Winbook? Do I just have a "lemon'?

PS

I think I need a Pentium 100 or more, 1 Gig, 16 MB, 14.4 modem or faster; if I get a different computer, I'll get a CD. I would like to stay on the cheapo end.

Please email privately

Garry

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
