Laptop

Over the break from are ars last class I got a new laptop that's running Windows 7 can you say learning curve from using XP for the last 9 years. And yes you Apple users out their I did look at them but the price I could not justify and plus I was not sure if the CAD programs I want to run would be supported. Coming to find out that some of the programs we need for this class will not run on this machine because of windows 7 like Photo story and not quite sure about Audacity I got it to download but that's as far as I can get. So if all else fails I will have to put them on my desktop and I do have these programs on my school issued mini.
