Heh Heh Heh…
Man, like the guy said, there’s one born every minute.
For a couple of days, I was snowed. I thought my Windows Vista operating system was actually starting to work properly. Or, at least a bit less like a nuked tomato that had then been run over by a steamroller.
Well, imagine my surprise when starting the TurdMaster up this morning, and it felt (probably just for snits and giggles) that it had to reinstall Microsoft Office, something I installed legally when I first bought the computer.
That’s what I love about Windows Vista – not only does it NOT work properly with anything that boasts being “Vista Certified”, it doesn’t even really work with its own family of self-produced products.
I finally had to break down and elicit technical support (3 DAYS WORTH!!) a few weeks ago, when I added a “Vista Compatible” wireless router. After having four different technicians tell me that a wireless router would not cause blue screen crashes, I uninstalled the router, and the Turdmaster has been just fine since.
As fine as one could expect a Windows Vista operating system to be…
I’d like to think that I’m alone in this sinking ship, but the ongoing TV commercials (which should win a goddam Emmy as far as I’m concerned) illustrating the two characters posing as a Mac and a PC indicate that there must be others suffering as much as I.
But one day, the suffering will end. One day, the birds will sing again. One day, I will quit wondering if I am nuckin’ futs whenever I start up my computer.
One day, I will be starting up a Mac…
Chow for now!!

Dan, I have an iMac which provides all the juicy graphics and ease for which Apples are known, AND it lets me partition off whatever space I want to run Windows. One machine, high power, all the options. Yes, it's Windows Vista, but perhaps the Macness of the machine keeps it in line better. I haven't had many problems. Then again, I use it only about 5% of the time. :-)
