I've got a couple of newspaper articles that are front and back pages. I want to do copies of the backsides only, but some of the newspaper articles that I want back side page copies, well the articles are huge. I can't use my school copy machine because they only have 8 1/2 by 11 type of printers. Do certain public libraries have any large copy machines that people can use? If so, are there any type of public libraries in Pennsylvania that might have a huge copy machine of some sort?

A few seconds after I log on and get into Windows (I have a Windows XP laptop), the screen freezes for a moment, then it goes black. Then the screen reappears, but everything is a bit slower. Letters appear more slowly on the screen after you type them and when I drag the scroll bar on the right hand side, it's slow and choppy. What is causing this and what should I do? I already tried scanning using a few virus scanners.

Someone said that you are supposed to take off the computer cover and clean behind it. I didn't believe it, but I was just curious. Does it help or hurt or does it matter if you clean underneath the cover?

I have 2 computers and 2 monitors.. I want to access all harddrives on all PCs.. but I want to use 2 montiors at once for double desktop space.

So I would take one graphics card out of one PC and put it in the second PC.. could I still access the hard drive on the second PC even though it doesn't have a graphics card?

okay, im gonna buy a laptop mostly for music production and the usual stuff: internet surfing, occasional gaming etc.

dell 6400
15 inch glossy screen
intel core 2 duo 2.0 ghz
2 gb RAM
ati radeon 128 mb
80 gb 7200 rpm hard disk

all for 1400-ish euros

OR

Apple Macbook
13 inch glossy screen
intel core 2 duo 2.0 ghz
512 RAM
intel 950 video card
60 gb 5400 rpm hard drive

all for 1200 euros..

but if i do get a macbook i'd have to buy a copy of win xp (a must!), external hard disk with 7200 rpm (important for music making), and
more RAM (2 gb upgrade) which will then cost me lots more moneyyy!!!

i know all the **** about apple being the best, gimme their disadvantages for a change!
like for example..if i buy the macbook now, is there a chance that it will be obsolete in two years??apple upgrades their computers and OS frequently..

if buying the dell is more cost efficient i will stick to using windows.

thanks, any help will be very much appreciated.

My computer has a virus or something because after I log in it just freezes. I can still move the mouse, but there's no taskbar or start menu. To save money I want to use a Windows XP upgrade disc...will that work? I want to erase all the data on my computer and start fresh with just the operating system. Please help!
