I had the opportunity to download the Office Beta, but declined it as it is a time limited edition.
Corry says that although it does have a time limit on it, it does not make a difference as you are being used as guinea pigs to tell Microsoft about any bugs, so they will never bother about cutting you off.  Bkut He also says although it upgrades Xp, and Vista it does not like Windows 7, which I find really strange because the way I look at it, it is basically the same programme with updates.

Never say Never, as you may win the pools or the lottery and get a super duper satellite computer or laptop.

Don't cut your finger ???

Why not ???

This laptop has fingerprint recognition log on and won't see a plaster.

The answer:

Be like me scan more than one finger, or use the standard password log on.

If I get a facial recognition I shall attempt to use 1) A photo of GW Bush 2)a photo of a chimpanzee as that's more intelligent. Seriously though, would a photo work?

My Laptop has voice recognition and will make an attempt to type a letter for you, which is funny because it does not always undertstand what has been said.  As on the phone F's and S's are misheard.
