I want it to be as fast as can be,so what would I ask/look for in a laptop?as for price, I'd like to go no higher than $600 - $700....is that too low? or high enough?also, the stuff I buy will be on CDs so of course I know to look for one with either built-in, or I can buy a separate 'add-on'...see, at least i know that much!! lol.SO ANYHOW..all you computer-knowledgeable, please give me your thoughts and opinions!!!and what brand/s do you like? and why?and one really dumb question, which I think I know the answer to but will ask anyway; can you download program CDs on tablets? j... less

I can't tell whether it's an information bubble, brought on by super smart computers making suggestions based on what I've watched before or if Spanish-language horror flicks are the in-thing now for some reason.

If people disagree over an interpretation in any 'holy book', how could their differing interpretations be tested (in our lifetime) in order to know who is correct?What is the difference between a god that does not appear to exist and a god that does not exist?

I had watched Jason movies when I was young and I realize that these movies are popular and they have a certain element of sexuality and fear and anarchy to them.I just don't get the violence part of it. I don't know why people want to see fake murders or any kind of murders for that matter.Is it a fantasy?I mean they're so popular.Why do people really watch horror movies?Why do you watch them?Thanks.

I will say, "did you leave me a message?", which usually gets answered with, "Um....no."If you don't leave a message, how the heck am I going to know who you are or what you want? I do return any message I get. There are too many spam callers out there for me to answer a number I don't recognize.
