IBM Netvista 1.8GHz Pentium 4 Desktop Computer (Refurbished)

A friend was over and thier son was on myspace and some how loaded a virus from a mwssage. It had no protection despite what it was said to have. Came with no reboot disc like every other comp I have bought. Very expensive paperweight!

First off, the computer arrived much sooner than expected. I was absolutely astonished at how soon the package arrived at my door. The compter arrived and was received exactly as expected. All of the necessary cables and peripheral equipment were present and in good order. After unpacking the unit and powering it up the installation went well without any problems whatsoever. Everything seemed to be in good working order. However, it would have been nice to have been able to purchase a few options and have them preinstalled on the computer. For one thing, I found the 256 Mb of on-board memory to be inadequate for my purposes and I have since upgraded to a page od 512 Mb of memory with an eye on yet doubling this in the future. I would have been delighted to have been able to purchase optional memory pre-installed in the computer. In like manner, I also find the 40 Gb hard drive to be inadequate for my needs and I have since purchased another hard drive with much greater capacity. Again, it would have been nice to be able to purchase an optional hard drive and get that pre-installed in the computer. Along this same line, I have a need for a CD burner in my computers. Therefore I have also purchased a CD/DVD burner that I plan to install in the near future. Once again, it would have been nice to be able to purchase an optional CD burner and have that pre-installed in the computer. Other than that, I am well pleased with the computer. It arrived and is performing exactly as advertized.
