STAY WELL AWAY FROM BLI ... read the forums here to see the problems people are having with Bli .... they are not delivering the goods for weeks

Hi, Don't worry I have seen the posts. That is why I was pointing out they are the same company. Though looking at reviews from customers, they sell through Amazon and Ebay too, it seems that they are quick enough to get their software out.

Best options appear to be XMA which also supply a Lexmark printer or ProjectIT who add an extra 1GB RAM. Both seem to have a 3/4 day delivery.

Whichever you think you will make most use of would be the best option for you.

you need to read the thread and you will find most of your questions have already been answered....

printer or ram you ask...well that depends if you got a printer already

me personally would go for the ram and purchase a printer of your own back...that way you can hunt one that offers cheap or reasonable ink consumption.

if you wanted to upgrade the ram of your own back..unless you know what your doing you may have to ask or pay someone to fit it for you...

purchase from positive it...

Doesn't mean much to me either....lol. I think 1GB is a good amount but if you plan to put lots of pictures, documents, or software on it then a bit more would be useful.

I believe netbooks are smaller, and may not have disk drive. Laptops are now called notebooks as well since they no longer fit on laps.

Got my Laptop (Samsung 2GB) but there are no discs with it, not even a recovery disc. Do I have to request this? If so, from whom? Positive IT? Samsung? Microsoft?

I believe you make your own...no idea how though.
