Good Morning, I write grant proposals (on a voluntary basis) for a non-profit charitable organization, and they sent me the Maxtor external drive full of data.

The last two times I unplugged everything and hiked the computer over to the campus computer shop and then everything magically worked again -- maybe my computer just...

Any suggestions on which HP lasers might work with Vista? They all SAY they work with windows, but not necessarily which version. I am considering both B&W and color, and work out of a home office. Your...
