Thanks Lloyd. As far as I'm concerned they are the ideal small computer to take along when you travel, especially if you have it outfitted properly. :)

Thanks George. :)

Thanks DB. Background was a video that Bill did on how it's not possible to access email, other than gmail, on an Android tablet or Chromebook. I was merely pointing out the error in this thinking. :)

@@DERB_Seymour_Indiana Thanks for pointing out a few alternatives to Gmail. I also use Protonmail, from inside Tor Browser, via a VPN, when I want to feel extra safe.

From past experience, I've found a lot of laptops do not have very much RAM expansion capabilities. :)

It depends on how old the laptop is. The first generation of mobile i3, i5, i7 supported 8GB, the second 16GB RAM.

I suppose you are right. I think I have 8 Gb on my old HP probook

Ok, now that I had some free time to watch Bill's video, I see that Tommy's computer is an HP G71-449WM. From what I could find from web searches, that version maxes out at 4 Gb of RAM. Later versions of the G71 do allow upgrades to 8 Gb, which is obviously only useful with a 64 bit OS. I did email Bill to let him know what I found. :)

Don't kid yourself, Bill is plenty smart. He just has no interest in learning about computer and there for doesn't want to invest any time and effort into it. :)

@DERB_Seymour_Indiana He has said many times that he is stupid when it comes to computers. Again, no offense intended.

None taken, I was just giving my opinion on your comment. LOL

Hey Rich, if you are interested in exactly what I'm talking about send me an email. mosslack@gmail.com

@DERB_Seymour_Indiana Thanks, but it is not that important. I have been watching Bill since 2012. Never commented much. I enjoy his videos. Thanks.
