Am trying to help my in-laws... They are looking at getting a notebook computer, and can go with Vista Home Premium or XP. I am little help since I have had the same computer for several years and since I am having no problems, am not currently paying much attention. I have heard that a lot of programs they may have on their current Windows 98 system may not be compatible, as well as many others. I have also heard some Vista nightmares.

If they go with Vista, will they pretty much have to get all new software for things like genealogy (Family Tree Maker 5?), digital picture downloads, etc.....???

Any other suggestions as far as what they should get are appreciated. They aren't going to use advanced applications or gaming, anything like that. They want to try to get good value - whatever they get will be greatly faster than the one they have had for a good while now. Thanks all!!!!!!!

OK - I was picking 4th in a 12-team league, and it is a PPR league. I am feeling pretty good about how it cam out, altho I would have liked to be stronger at RB. The draft just didn't fall that way. Anyway, here goes:

1. (4) Frank Gore RB

2. (21) Steve Smith WR

3. (28) Carson Palmer QB

4. (45) Deuce McAllister RB

5. (52) Andre Johnson WR

6. (69) LaMont Jordan RB

7. (76) Chicago DEF

8. (93) Laveranues Coles WR

9. (100) Vince Young QB

10. (117) Bernard Berrian WR

11. (124) Randy McMichael TE

12. (141) Kevin Jones RB

13. (148) Green Bay DEF

14. (165) John Kasay K

15. (172) Eric Moulds WR

And please - if your best input is "Cut Moulds and get Torry Holt" or "Cut Kevin Jones and pick up LT, he's pretty good", don't bother answering. You'll get thumbs-down from those that know their stuff and you won't sniff a best answer - thanks!!

Does anyone else think the way I do on this question? I'd like to hear from people who really LIKE to play fantasy sports. Mine is the 1st answer, and probably won't get "Best Answer" since I am not telling this guy what he wants to hear.... but for guys like Crash, Dozer & Guru (and other people who give a darn) - whatcha think?

Please do not give me the old "Get T.O." or "Trade (bench player X & Y) for (Insert pro bowl caliber player name here) kind of answer. Ain't gonna happen. The person who puts a little thought into it and makes sense get the points. Thanks for the help - appreciate it!!

We have an owner that got nuts, got locked down, and now that he has cooled off, he realizes he was wrong and doesn't really have the time needed to devote to be competitive in our league.

There is a guy in another one of my leagues that would love to take over his team. My question is: What is the process we have to go through to make the change happen? I know it is possible, I went through it nine seasons ago. But I cannot remember for the life of me what has to occur from A to Z. Do you simply have to change over the e-mail address to the assuming owners e-mail address so they can access and manage the team? I looked at the "Edit Team Info" section and that seems to be all that may be needed?

1st one to give me a solid answer that works gets the 10 points. Thanks peeps!!

Okay - I am in a veteran, 12 team H2H league, good-sized rosters. There are 10 hitting categories and 8 pitching. There is little pitching available worth a darn on the wire. I am set pretty well in pitching and hitting, and in 1st by 2 games at the present time - so would you make the following deal?

You give: Jim Thome, Ian Kinsler, John Maine

You Get: Chase Utley, Garrett Atkins

Best Answer gets the 10 - give your reasoning or don't bother responding - which end do you take?
