cimorenemy moronic parents don't want a pirate microsoft word because after i installed winxp on my laptop my modem didn't work.
they can't grasp no matter how few syllables the words have that (a) this was the fault of gateway and not of windows and (b) the problem was because winxp was too new/the comp too old so that no compatible software existed, NOT because it was a 'pirate copy.'
what do they think, that pirate copies come with special Modem Disablers? morons. this computer was built FOR windows xp and came with xp home BUILT IN. i propose an update from xp home to xp pro, but even that is not necessary. office xp would run perfectly without it and it's not like they're intelligent enough to program an answering machine, let alone set up a home network.
