(Whoa! Yesterday was my 666th post!! 2007 ends in the devil's hands!!)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A new year, a new conflict with Windows Vista, the operating system that makes a horse and buggy look like a Ferrari…

Today, trying to simply get online and post a few bits of silliness (as I try to do every day), my computer failed to recognize my mouse. OK, it’s wireless, but come on – even a friggin’ 1970’s Atari game system should be capable of working with something that you’ve loaded by a CD. Apparently, that’s asking too much of Windows Vista, which makes a butter churn look like the Land ‘O Lakes dairy plant.

Not only does this idiotic operating system get punked by wireless peripherals, it even gives a big “Doh” to the rest of the computer. I had to crash the system to shut it off, as even the built-in mouse couldn’t remember whether or not it liked cheese anymore.

Thank you, Windows Vista (which makes two tins cans and a strand of binder twine look like Bell AT & T), for getting my new year off to such a delightful start…

May every programmer involved with this boondoggle develop sandpaper between their thighs, just after signing up for a major marathon…

Chow for now!!
