As if a holiday weekend wasn't enough, I had to add to the "things to do" by going out and getting a new computer. Needless to say, it came with Vista rather than ol' reliable XP. I'm sure there will be a bit of a learning curve as make the adjustment, and I'll keep you posted here I have any tidbits of note during the transition.
By the way, the first thing I did was to install Firefox and Thunderbird, followed by a de-crappifying of a lot of the demo and trial software that always comes pre-loaded on a new system. That's a start...more to come, I'm sure.

Congrats on your new purchase! Sorry you're stuck with Vista, but if anyone can develop work-arounds, it's you! Looking forward to hearing about them.
BTW, love your coined term "de-crappifying"... think I'll have ample opportunities to use that one!
Actually, I can't claim credit for the term. Check the link for more.

Had to laugh when I read this because that is exactly what my husband did with his new computer last year. Unfortunately, we've both had bad experiences with Vista this spring. It's enough to almost make me want to buy a Mac! Shhh! Don't tell my husband!
