    I just bought a kindle fire HD for my wife's birthday.  it has 16 gig storage.  how many books will that hold?  also I was told you can't delete books after they are read.  is that true?  so I would have to throw away the kindle and buy another one when it is filled.  any help?  thanks in advance.

    hi guys. it's been awhile since I've been here but I know you can help with my problem. I've been using AVG for my protection. now the latest version doesn't support winme. so I'm in need of a anti virus software that will work with winme so I can keep updated. I appreciate any help that you can give me. I'm still not ready to move up from winme. thank you.

    The governer of Alaska came down to visit Texas.

    While talking to Texas governer Perry he questioned.

    "I've heard a lot of talk about Texas. Just what is so great about Texas"?

    Governer Perry said, "well we got the gulf of Mexico. we got the Red River,

    in the west we have great pararies, in the east we have forest land, in the south we have the hill country."

    "All over the state we have great industries and plenty of oil".

    The governer of Alaska, not to be outdone replied.

    "Well in Alaska we've got enough gold to build a fence around Texas."

    Governer Perry looked him straight in the eye and said.

    "You build that fence......we'll buy it."

    That is a decent board. You did not list the proc speed. Any thing with ddr memory is relatively fast for running ME or even XP.

    well it has 256 meg of ram. I haven't the slightest idea how to find out what speed the cpu is.

    I guess if you guys think it's good then I will put some money into it.

    2 gigs of ram.....I don't know

    cd-rw...$30

    cpu fan.....$5 including shipping

    my friend got a new computer so he gave me his old one

    he said it was slow so I expected 486-300 mhz.

    the cpu fan had 3 blades broken off but I ran it long enough to format and load win me.

    I was just wondering if this thing is worth fixin'
