[AGL] Imagery to music...

[Jon Ford]

Gerry-- I have a couple of high quality used  laptops I bought from 
craigslist for under $100 that still work fine. These had alrewady been 
upgraded to the latest system and a fairly recent verion of Office. In the 
PC world, you can also upgrade the system  and software on even the oldies, 
which is one reason why I like PCs better than Macs. Often though, when you 
start upgrading, you run into some big expenses. On the other hand, a lot of 
the "Power features" available on newer machines aren't really necessary for 
the average user. So like you say "different strikes for different folks."
