    Step 3: toss a burning match onto laptop.

    Step 4: watch the fire clense your laptop.

    Acer Laptops :are they crap ?

    Acer makes a cheap prodcut period. They user lower end plastics, as well as assembly. (I hate working on Acer laptops)

    If budget is an issue then get an acer... though for $50 more you could get a gateway that will smoke the acer in terms of quality.

    For a laptop though i would suggest one of the DV7T's from HP or a Business class Toshiba/HP/IBM (not the lenovo branded, the Thinkpads)

    Birthday shows at login screen for somebody I havent spoken to nor have any contact information for. Where is windows getting this info? Also, I just wiped and did a clean install of windows yesterday, and I have never seen birthday listed at the login screen until today. I have also checked and have no contacts on my account, so where is windows getting this info?
