OK, it's odd that those places make it sound like the pro really is a
supreme version. It's nice to know that it's not worth the extra cost for
some books and stuff that I would have no use for, seeing I have no scanner
to scan them with anyways.
I know linux for dummies didn't tell me much more than I knewalready
besides x-windows and a list of compatible hardware, which may help if I
consider getting a machine to have only linux on.
I think the basic deal is to stay away from winmodems and hardware that's
too old or new.
