....the Dell Inspiron 1100 would be able to do basically all the tasks that she would need to do...as a Teacher ?

David, you had said that it comes with an external floppy disk. Once again I'm not that computer literate but....it is built into the Notebook...correct { nothing extra to buy or hook up } ?? I've been looking at all the specs and the pics...but I don't see it.

The floppy disk is a must to bring the work she would do on the Notebook onto the Desktop. Does it matter that my Desktop has Windows 98 and the Notebook has XP..as far using the floppy disks go ? It'll work from one Windows to another ?

Also from what I've heard a Celeron Processor is slower than a Pentium...correct ?? If I do get the Celeron will it make that much of a difference ??
