    1. @nerthos It's always good to fix something on a full stomach.

    4. @greydragon412 These ones have lots of restriçctions and anti-sell protections (of course i erased them all at the second day) but they're planned for people who don't know how to use a computer, so most of the times it works. Other times the freezed date only bothers.

    5. @greydragon412 The protections i'm aware of are: the disk doesn't work in other pcs, (hardware protection, but backups can't be done that way) intel theft deterrent, it needs to log to school's wi-fi every week or it automatically blocks, and some anti-porn programs.

    6. @greydragon412 Just open msconfig and deactivate everything. But most of the population here only know how to start windows, so it's enough.

    7. @greydragon412 Yeah, when you finish, they change from one week to years. I got it when i finished, because the plan was implemented last year. Now they give one to every student of public schools at mid career.

    8. @greydragon412 English is not my mother language. Well, this year the netbooks are given to students that are in the first years of higschool, when i finished, they were still starting with the netbook thing, so it was only for students who where finishing the school, without the one-week limitation. When you finish, they erase that protection, and the pc is yours.

    9. @greydragon412 When you're still at school, yes. You must log-in to the network so the countdown resets. When you finish school, they remove the blocking program. It's to stop people from selling the netbooks.
