OK, I'm a compter illiterate here, so bear with me. I've purchased a new laptop and am interested in playing games on it. The thing is, I don't know where to begin. Are there games designed specifically for PCs or do I need to download some software to play games, and if so how do I go about doing just that.

As long as your laptop has the minimum or better system requirements on the game box, you should be able to play it. The only snag I can see is if the game requires some high-end video card that your laptop doesn't have - and it being a laptop, you can't just slap one into an empty AGP slot. What you get is pretty much what you get.

Jack, you're never going to get your Leisure Suit Larry floppy disks into that thing.

Yep but all new games come on CD or DVD these days. Even without a floppy drive you should be able to get the old floppy disk games to work by copying them to a clipdrive (or CD) on another machine. Well, it'd work for the games that were just programs to install it to the harddrive (which most of them were).

If you're doing laptop, make sure you pump up the Video Ram...none of that integrated crap either, make sure it's standalone Vram, it's a bit extra, but worth it.

Hello guys, I have a DSL connection using a Westell versalink model 327W modem/router which has an Ethernet cable running from this modem to a card on my desktop. I also have a laptop that accesses the internet wirelessly. My problem is that I can't print to the printer that is attached to my desktop PC from the laptop. Please help me. How can I print from my wireless laptop to the printer attached to my desktop computer?

playing game son a laptop is not as bad as it used to be. I play Halo on my MacBook and it looks great.
