If you want to have the software in English, you might want to consider ordering from Dell. If you order over the phone you can get everything you need in English. If you decide to buy from a local guy, please make sure that you get a licenced version of Windows - make sure there is a sticker with the licence key stuck to the computer, and that you get the installation CD in it's original packaging. So many of our customers have been caught out by that (not by us obviously) _______________________ Compleo Boulicoat S.L. - Your personal IT department www.compleo.es Spam post?

Up to you of course, but may take some getting used to. Definitely avoid unlicensed software etc., you will not be able to get any updates, leaving yourself vulnerable to viruses etc. _______________________ "For I am a bear of very little brain, and long words bother me" Winnie the Pooh Spam post?

She thought she'd treat her husband to a laptop when they moved to Spain. She hadn't realised It has a Spanish keyboard. Question marks are upside down for one. Hi formentera costa.... I've sent you a PM. This message was last edited by morerosado on 10/8/2007. _______________________ Hello-o-o I'm a I'm back from almost a month in Spain. Spam post?

I was in PC City in Roquetas one day and heard an English couple asking advice about buying a CD-burner. Obviously the sales guy recommended the most expensive one - once he left them too it, I quickly ran over to the couple and advised them to buy another brand. _______________________ Compleo Boulicoat S.L. - Your personal IT department www.compleo.es Spam post?

Then we sold the lap top ( with a complete list of the fault ) on e bay for 105 pounds! €€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€ _______________________ *' Do unto others as you would be done by'* Don't give me grief, I can find it by myself Spam post?
