Well, so far I really like Vista. Most of the stuff I use on XP works just fine on Vista. Some of my photo editing programs don't work, but Picasa2 works along with the image resizer utility I use most of the time.
I having a few issues with Media Player 11 getting to play video embedded in certain websites, but I'm sure that will get better as time goes on.
I'm trying out the new Office, not sure if I like it or not but I might end up having to buy it because I'm not sure if the Office for XP suite I have will work on Vista or not.
I'll probably wait until the free trial of Office runs out to see if I can get the old suite to work.
One thing to consider is to not be too cheap when you shop for a new computer. Our new laptop has 2 gigs of memory installed and uses about half of it to run my usual assortment of programs.
Running Firefox, IE 7, iTunes, iPodder, Google Picasa, Norton Anti-Virus and all the background stuff (84 processes combined) takes up 52% of the 2 gigs. Not sure what all those 84 processes are doing, but I'm not gonna tweak anything just get.
Using Ready Boost seems to help as the memory usage stays right at 52% and doesn't spike when I open more tabs up in Firefox. In conclusion, don't even think of getting a new computer with anything less then 2 gigs of RAM.
I bet these are warm.
Hey, this house is a steal at only 75 million bucks. I have to admit-it is pretty sweet.
This is a great idea.
I'm not sure I'm 100 percent on board with this guy, but he does raise some valid points.

Here's another one of those slightly off-color jokes.........
Four nuns go to heaven and as they get to the pearly gates St. Peter presides over them and says, "Now usually we ask people here if they have any last sins they want to confess before going before Him, but since you are nuns, you have presumably lived a rather sin-free life. Nonetheless, this is your time to confess anything you have hanging over your head."
So the first nun walks up and says, "Well, I have to confess that one day, while cleaning out the priests' quarters, I walked into one of the rooms without knocking and, well...I saw the priest's penis." Ashamed, she bowed her head and waited for a response.
St. Peter replies, "No problem at all daughter of God, just cleanse your eyes in the fountain of purity and all will be forgiven."
The second nun then steps forward and says, "I, too, have something similar I must get off my chest. You see, while cleaning out the priests' quarters I also forgot to knock, saw the priest naked, but .... I could not resist....I touched the priest's penis." Completely embarrassed in front of her peers and St. Peter, she bowed and waited for her judgment.
St. Peter calmed the nun and replied, "Do not fret child, merely cleanse your hands in the fountain of purity and all will be forgiven."
Before the third nun can step forward, the nun behind her starts to pull her and shove her away, attempting to get in front of her. St. Peter, rather surprised with the nun's actions pleads the nun to stop and explain herself. So the last nun says, "Oh St. Peter, I only wanted to gargle the water from the fountain of purity before she put her ass in it!"
I'm sure most nuns aren't like that......I know the nun that used to run our kids Catholic elementary school sure wasn't. I'm not Catholic and I was afraid of her. She most definitely had the kids respect.
I watched the Super Bowl through the half-time show then went to bed. From what my wife told me, I didn't miss much. The first half was pretty good at least... at least I got to watch all the cool commercials....
Global warming seems to be here to stay.
This movie just wouldn't be the same if Nicholas Cage was riding a bicycle.
Till later.
