   Thanks for the heads-up, Bobbie!  I wasn't even aware I'd have to   
   deal with that with my next computer.  It will probably be an   
   off-the-shelf model so it will probably come with Windows 7 whether   
   I want it or not.  My plan for it, which I may have to rethink, had   
   been the same as with my current (2007) off-the-shelf system: keep   
   Windows on it (shrink its partition) until the warranty is over.   
   The DVD drive on this one did have problems several months into the   
   warranty, and I knew that Customer Service would want me to run some   
   diagnostics that had been included with Windows.
