Thanks guys. Just as soon as I can contact my son, I will check to see if I understood him correctly, then relay your replies. I will also ask which store gave the advice then get back to you.

It was Curry's. The guy said all the laptops here run Vista, you won't be able to run your version of Office 2003, you'll need 2007. There were one or two others. The laptop in question was reduced from £499 to £350.

Would you do everyone a favor and go down to Curry's and make a formal complaint!

System

Snap!, my son lives near Poole and I guess he went to a store in that area. Next week (Wed) we are going to visit them for a fortnight. Between then and now, I will have gathered as much info as I can, then visit the store myself and have the guy pointed out to me, and "I" will ask the same question.

Psychofly

You should take a few mobile numbers of people on here.

islandman :Will this work or will I have to give you another £200 for it to be ok ?

lying little &(*&$£ shop assistant : Oh no sir... it's £250 extra to get it working I'm afraid.

islandman : One sec while I check with my qualified IT friend (dials)

lying little &(*&$£ shop assistant : (cries)

VICTORIOUS FANFARE !!
