I bought mine from PC's for Everyone, pcsforeveryone.com  a little more expensive, but rock solid, customizable and no bloatware.

Starting June 2 PC’s Sold Will Be Upgradeable to Windows 8 at a Discount
By David K

mobilitydigest.com 



Lots of people are debating buying Windows 7 PCs knowing that Windows 8 is just around the corner but the wait may be over. According to Mary Jo Foley, starting June 2, 2012 (around the same time as the Consumer Preview will be available) new PCs will ship with a free upgrade to Win8 and this offer will last until January 2013. There are more versions of Windows 7 than there are Windows 8 and because of that the update will be discounted but not free. The goal of course is to not create a lull in sales and get the back to school crowd buying without concerns.

I pulled the trigger late yesterday. I guess I'm stuck with Windows 7 for a while.

Well Freddie Wong's big project is here and this is the first episode. It's based in the near future, where kids go to school to learn video games to play in competition for a living (Video Game High School, or VGHS). It's professionally done, they raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to produce this series. These young film makers have a bright future a head of them. You may recognize some people in the video.

If you are not a gamer you may not understand whats happening. I am impressed with the quality of the production. If you are a gamer, I believe you will find this series entertaining. Series only available online for free.

Stock Bull, I've downloaded the install file for the new EASEUS version 4.5. Is it necessary to uninstall the old version first?

They suspended email support for free users:

"Version 4.5 also sees EaseUS suspend all technical support for EaseUS ToDo Backup Free. Online tutorials are still available via the program’s help button, but EaseUS no longer provides any form of technical support for users of the free version. Instead, it’s promoting the WorkStation edition of the program for home users, which costs $39."

SB, I did uninstall the old EASEUS using REVO. Flawless. Then installed EASEUS 4.5, made a clone of my C: partition and tested the clone by booting from it. AOK

Steve, I decided to go with VOIPo voipo.com 
It comes to under $7 [includes tax] for unlimited US calling and 60 free overseas minutes per month. To get this rate I prepaid $165 for 2 years [cancellable in first 30 days]

What helped convince me is that their email support is in the US and about half a dozen of my emailed questions were answered within the hour [no scripted answers either]

the no-cost adapter was shipped yesterday and arrived today. It is plug'n'play - took all of 10 minutes and now I'm testing voice quality, calling in etc. I have a temporary number and will keep both, VOIPo and AT&T for a week or two before porting my old number to VOIPo [free] and cancelling AT&T. I have Skype on my PC and will keep it just in case

PS: Already entered my address on the VOIPo web site for E911 calls.

Gottfried, What service are you using for your internet? You may have said before but I missed it. I also would like to eliminate ATT.

Judi, I use AT&T u-verse DSL. It has been reliable for several years and I get close to the advertised speed. I'll keep it.

Will cancel AT&T u-verse voice [land line phone] next week because it's too expensive
I've never had AT&T u-verse TV

PS: tried voice mail on my new VOIPo line and they even send you email with the voice mail file attached if you choose that option. Their web site is very straightforward - unlike AT&Ts.
