Well lets try this again.  I should make sure the whole text is copied to 
the blipboard before closing and not saving the file.  My sister who lives 
in Eastern Colorado is thinking of getting a new laptop and desktop  Their 
present desktop is getting a little old and they had a near crash last 
week I helped them recover from, so she is thinking about upgrading to a 
desktop and laptop.  I would assume she Will want windows 7 although I 
have never messed with that at all.  If I'm talking main brand, such as 
Dell or HP, Can you get boards with parallel ports any more?
Her printer is a parallel port, and I think they run quicken for their 
office books.  Their printer is an Hp 960, and I looked around on line and 
couldn't even find out for sure if windows 7 drivers are available.  Can 
you even get a board that will support a floppy any more?  Can anyone 
briefly tell me what the difference between a Dell detention, studio 
desktop, or optiplex?  I have a older dell Optiplex and like it.

I guess I'm looking at Hp, or Dell, or could build my own, but I'd have to 
ship and that is another problem.  The desktop is pretty much bisiness and 
should have an extra pci slot or two for adding a wireless network and so 
forth.  The laptop is used mostly for photos, I don't she does much 
editing, but it should have a card reader.  Any ideas, suggestions or 
comments are welcome.

Sorry the first note didn't go through.
