But, here's the drill: don't waste your time. I have a v6000 here. The wifi card in many of them had a problem. I recall the there were mobo interface problems, as well, further compounded by auto updates or the like. Do a web search and you'll see a plethora of stuff by unhappy ConCrap V6000 owners. I got an external wifi adapter. Worked well. Then the mobo died! Anyone who buys a low- end Howly Pack-up or ConCrap is asking for trouble, no matter what the OS, IMNSHO. (Mine was inherited) Let me know if you want the wifi adapter. $10 and it's yours. Used about three times before the hole schitten vorks died! >:-o ---------- Looking for a place to host your web site idea?
