Sorry, but my Vista laptop maxed out at 3 GB, so I will need to install 
Win7 with 3 GB.  It was not made for Win7 but almost anything is better 
than Vista. I doubt that I will be able to get it to have more memory 
than the 3 GB installed, but I will look into it.

I want to get that system upgraded in the near future so I can deal with 
the Win7 people and their LO needs.  It is getting to be a problem not 
having a Win7 system for supporting people.  I prefer Ubuntu, but most 
of my friends use Win7 now.  Only one uses Linux.

I really want to keep supporting LO under Windows, so as people buy new 
systems with Win7, I am loosing ground with them.  One girl bought a 
very powerful 17" laptop, just to type notes, play videos, and browse 
the Net.  She spent three times as much as needed for doing just that 
type of "work".  I would love such a laptop, but I cannot afford one 
like that.  At least she is using LO now and not get convinced that she 
had to have MSO.
