[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 5958329, member: 70"] Recommend Stuff For Me! Got a new computer the other day. My old one was nice, but couldn't handle the newer versions of AutoCAD, Photoshop, and etc. This one is smaller, screenwise (15" from a 17"), but I got a 23" monitor to compensate. Toshiba with an i7 processor, 8MB RAM, etc, etc. Pretty close to the same specs as the department will be ordering this summer for their new computers. I have to say, I'm happy to be back on a Toshiba. I was not happy with HP. OK, all that aside, I'm looking for suggestions & recommendations. I've downloaded & installed Picasa and Sketchup; I will download Fences (I love me a clean desktop, particularly because my wallpaper is an awesome picture of Amara Aquilla/Magma, from the New Mutants) and Spybot. What other free software should I look at? Cheers, Nell. PS - I got a free 4MB XBox with it too. I know NOTHING about XBoxes, except that they are for the playing of the games. So....what do I do with it?!? What games? Is 4MB an antique? I haven't even cracked the cardboard case on the thing yet...not sure where it's going to go. PPS - Add Dropbox to the list of stuff downloaded and installed. And for what it's worth, I'm switching to Chrome for a browser from Firefox. [/QUOTE]
