    Purchased bottom Ferrari from Costco.ca. Took delivery last Tuesday.

    Converted 2 of 3 partitions to NTFS. Not sure what to do with the PQSERVICE partition. What is it for? Should it be converted as the other two?

    When my neighbour's home network shows up, can I access his printer from my house? His network shows up as unsecured. I know very little about networking, but unsecured probably isn't good. Thought if I could figure out how to get on his network, I'd send a funny page to his printer. Where can I find out how to do this? Have googled but haven't found out anything useful.

    Second partition is called acerdata. Tried moving "my documents" folder to data partition, but computer said no.

    Should I create a shortcut? Is there a better way?

    Does each app need to be configured to use data partition when installed?

    Costco offers a six month return policy, so haven't purchased extended warranty. Plus they don't offer one. Am I likely to encounter problems with Acer?

    Was thinking of getting a notebook bag, but this thing is so beautiful, seems a shame.

    My girlfriend says I can't bring it to bed, but so far it's on the dresser. Just a step away.

    Have learned a lot from the other areas on the site. Hope someone can enlighten this first timer.

    Thanks
