I installed it on my e-machine with some diffuculty mostly due to my error and lack of knowledge the only problem I cam up against is installing the programs that I have for them to use for their homeschooling. If I can get help geting over this hurdle I think I will install it on all our household/homeschooling computers. Any suggestions would be great.
