    I'm pretty positive. A hard copy would be full install correct?

    Not necessarily, could be an upgrade.

    If it is drop it in and run it. Do a backup of any impt docs prior though

    I'll check it out. She has already copied everything she wants over to another external drive. Thanks!

    I used them once in the past. Will never buy from them again. I got the wrong computer that I ordered, ended up sending it back. Never got a refund until I got the bank involved.

    I was talking about ibuypower as a company, not the hardware.


    Throw in SSD and call it a day. Also, who the fuck uses disc drives these days :p

    Then a few emulators and you are ready to rock and roll.

    I'm looking at one of these.

    Installed Marshmallow on my Nexus 6 yesterday. So far it's a bit different. They added some extra security features and a minor GUI change. I've also noticed that my connection is stronger to LTE. Sitting at my desk over the last weeks my signal would bounce from 3G to HSPA to LTE by the min.
    So either
    A. My phone is lying to me
    B. The new OS is using LTE better
    C. TMO improved the towers in my area around work and the airport.

    Anyone else install Marshmallow?

    No Marshmallow for me yet. Doubt my phone will ever see it thanks to Verizon.

    My Galaxy Tab 2014 Edition just got KitKat. Samsung is way behind.

    @Aw9d Colby what do you think it would cost to put together a good desktop for working? Wont need a lot of processing power but a good amount of memory will be a necessity

    TM just did some major updating all over AZ. I have 3 bar LTE in Payson now. I don't know if they physically upgraded or just got a better partnership with other carriers to use their towers. But I am a happy camper now.
