I'm in the UK. Need to get a laptop for my mum, who has a respiratory condition so cant carry anything heavy. She is using it to give DVD and powerpoint presentations to local churches and groups. She doesnt drive so will need to carry it around on public transport and walk.

Here are the criteria:
Light, ideally sub 2kg (she cant carry heavy things)
Reliable (she's not technical, and I live in a different town)
Good sized screen (eyesight not good for a small screen)
Ideally simple playback buttons for the DVD (some laptop keyboards have separate buttons)
Not too pricey (up to £700)

a) Is there a model you'd reccomend?
b) Is there a really good website that would review the options?

My baby has just begun crawling, and I am finding it impossible to keep my floors clean. How do I ask people to remove their shoes without offending them?

With "socialist" being the new spin word against Democrats, I have a hard time believing that many elderly people will vote Republican in fear of losing their social security checks.

This has been the main source of Republican votes my whole life and Hillary is making a giant stand for socialized healthcare while Republicans are moving toward privatization... which elderly people are wise to.

Barry Bonds has killed baseball as far as i'm concerned. He was not the root of the problem, but he's the last nail in the coffen. I "was" a life long fan of baseball, and now i'm gone. If they even allow him to break Hank's record by way of the joice, then i'll never watch another game again. It's hard for this life long Cubs fan to walk away, but i will. True Baseball had died with the strike, but the last hope will be washed away this season. Does anyone else agree?

At your age now, what would you do with all this money!?
It's a known fact that people who win the lotto waste it and throw it away because they go silly with it....don't manage it.

I see a lot of questions and answers on here that seem to be on the Athiest side. So for those of you that don't believe...I just want to know why.

Also, if any of you say "There's no evidence!" there's also no evidence that he doesn't exist...so please, if that's your reason, I also ask that you elaborate.

1) Two pipes are connected to the same tank. When working together, they can fill the tank in 8 hrs. The larger pipe, working alone, can fill the tank in 12 hrs less time tha the smaller one. How long would the smaller one take, working alone, to fill the tank?

2)Solve for the indicated letter: R=xD^2+jDf for D
D=?

3)If an object is thrown downward with an initial velocity of Vo (the o is a zero), then the distance it travels is given by s=4.9t^2+Vot. An object is thrown downward from an airplane 300m from the ground, with an intial velovity of 5m/sec. How long does it take for the object to reach the ground? (simplify ur answer. Type an integer or a decimal. Round to the nearest tenth.)

4) A record for free-fall to the ground without a parachute is 175ft. How long did the fall take? Use the formila s=16t^2.

Mitt literally spends thousands of dollars on his make-up!!!

Or do the Republicans think Rudy Guillaini
is much prettier than Mitt because Rudy not only
wears drag style make-up but wears such
beautiful evening gowns to outshine even his own wife?

That must give you an inferiority complex. Or at the very least years of therapy!

Mark 6:3 tells us that Jesus had a large family, at least 4 brothers & two sisters: "Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and his brother James, Joses, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?"
