my 4 yr old grandson is fine with it .... and i'd put him up against any of your 10 yo .... ha! hmm ... perhaps he is a little too fine with it ... i'm going to have to talk with his dad! dave language is such a wonderful thing. If it weren't for that, we wouldn't be having all this problem with the gigantic barking spiders in DC!

well it means it has an AMD Athlon quad core processor which means it is like having 4 processors instead of just one or 2, I personally love AMD processors and only get them rather than Intel, just a personal preference from my own experience, it is a good choice in processor you have there and should be able to handle any task you throw at it. It has a 320 Gig Sata hard drive which is a nice size I do not see where you mention the amount of RAM memory it has that would be important you want 3 or more probably with that system. Oh in looking it up it has 4Gig of RAM at least on the one I saw. It will be running Windows 7 home premium edition in 64bit format which would mean the pc would also be a 64 bit processor. That is the way of the future, not many are being made now with 32bit, the 64 bit will allow more RAM memory usage. Here is that series and how it can be configured HP Pavilion p6350z series I like HP have had several with no major problems. IF you give the link to the one you are actually looking at we may be able to give more info for how that one is configured.

Just last night I finished the new translation of KL, cross referencing it with the old where I thought something might be different. The footnotes and endnotes of the Nunnally translation are nowhere near as complete or thorough as in the Archer translation. Margygren means 'Sea Ogress'. There are other points where I really felt a footnote was lacking in the N. translation that was included in the A. Also, the end notes of the A. translation include many more maps and drawings of the manor layouts. I also had an issue with an aspect of the N. translation earlier in the novel. One of the male characters--I can't remember whom--speaks of feeling as if his heart had been torn out of him through his back. (He may say his heart and lungs through his back and ribs, I can't quite remember). In any case, such an image is a strange one and makes little sense unless the reader is aware that it is an allusion to the method of execution invented by the Vikings and known as "The Blood Eagle." The A. translation calls it such, and explains in a footnote what it entailed.

Sorry, I can't answer your question Kim. I actually just picked up an old copy of it at for sale at my local library for a whole dollar. It might be difficult though...this is an old copy and doesn't provide explanatory notes at the end. Make sure you get a good annotated version! CMK
