1) Thank you, Eddie -- I thought that the "DVDRW" designation, in Dell language, meant that it includes CD reading and writing but had to check it out with the experts.

2) Re your comments about refurbished computers, I am thinking that maybe people are turning in their WinXP computers and going with Windows 7. I appreciate your thoughts on that.

3) In the past, I bought two refurbished computers from Dell -- one a Desktop with Windows 2000 Pro and one laptop. Both were excellent and afforded no problems. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

HI Laverne

1) "Dell language" :-), and you're welcome.

2) No, usually they would be computers that were bought new, but for some reason (valid or not) were returned to the seller, then the seller returns them to the manufacturer for credit who then checks them out and does what's necessary (hopefully) to restore them to new specs, etc.

3) Yes, you can get a great unit, but there's also the possibility that something was missed by the refurbisher (wasn't detected at the time) and didn't surface for you until after the usual shorter warranty has expired.
