Finally after much needling from

dbubley , I have a new computer - that and the last straw in the form of a very bad infection that made my computer only open in Safe Mode. My new baby is bright and shiny and I have a 22" monitor too! The only down side is the OS, it's Vista. I can't say I hate it yet, since I've only been on it maybe 2 hours total, but it does seem bloated. Although compared to my old, old computer esp. after it was infected, this one is like driving on the Autobahn vs. a single lane gravel road. The jury will be out on Vista for a while. I always hate the first part of the learning curve, there will be lot of grumbling "XP had it right there - where did Vista f*cking put it?"

dbubley has the same one, since her computer died while she was on her "medically mandated vacation." We paid a little extra and had a Fry's nerd come out and hook us up and make our network secure. Now, when friends come over with their lap tops, we have the password for them. Yay!

Now the hunt for all the software, so I can load up what I need.
