Toshiba Satellite Laptop, Model L675 running Windows 7 (not sure of the 
Service Pack, or even if there is one?).  It has a telephone modem which 
will make it useful both at home and away.  Just initialized it, making 
a system backup as I type along on this old desktop.

The second thing I got on the new computer was a nag screen wanting me 
to subscribe to Norton Antivirus, and I don't want to.  I went looking 
in "Computer" for the Control Panel so I could take it out, and I 
couldn't find anything remotely resembling the Control Panel I know and 
like in Windows XP.

Once I have that system backup made, I will take the Toshiba to the 
library and access their Wi-Fi connection for the first use.  I want to 
put Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird on it, along with either 
Microsoft Security Essentials or perhaps Avast "free."  (Does anyone 
know of any better antivirus than these two?)

I'm sure there are other things I will want to add/delete from the new 
computer -- I just need to learn my way around the file structure, which 
is 'wayyy different from what I'm used to!
