A great philosopher once told me not to get a product I'm unfamiliar
with off eBay.

However, I suggest getting an equivalent Latitude series. In my opinion
the Latitudes have a better reputation for reliability.
If you can, get Windows 7 Pro - Windows Home is basically Windows
Professional with all the useful stuff taken out.

What are you now using instead of Forte agent?

Currently bouncing between Xnews and MicroPlanet Gravity. If I find another
newsreader, I might give that a try too. My first priority is that it
works well in win 7 64bit. I'm not concerned about binaries.

The other thought I'm bouncing around in my head, is if I want to go back
to Forte Agent is to try a virtual environment or go to a dual boot system.
I feel like a fish outa water because I'm not a power user in win 7 64bit.
I hate that feeling.
