[Blindtlk] computer buying advise

Tue Dec 11 18:52:09 UTC 2012

Georgia,

I just got a new computer last week on Amazon. Yes, windows 7 is still 
available. For word processing and the like, windows 7 home should work 
fine, but in reality, any version will do the trick. Go with what your 
budget can afford.

Mark
