Oh ... Really?

It’s like a whole new computer!

Just upgraded to Vista. Pretty slick, I must say. But that's just the eye candy. It does seem to be running a bit faster, but then I installed on a freshly formatted partition and I don't have everything installed yet. BTW, Paragon Hard Disk Manager is a pretty darn good disk manager. I quickly and easily combined three partitions into one on D, alloted disk space back to C, and installed and mounted an external drive.

My keyboard software is too old to be supported in Vista. I love this keyboard. It's a Logitech Media Elite that I've had for years. I would get a new one, but it seems that one cannot buy just a keyboard anymore! It's all these desktop sets. I have a mouse I love too ... Logitech MX1000 Laser ... and I don't want to replace that or pay for a mouse that I won't use. The sound card I have is also not supported, it's a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz and has been most awesomely amazing. But it's now legacy and no new updates are in the works. Its replacement does not yet have Vista drivers. So, for the time being I will be using the onboard sound on my Asus A7N8X. I did upgrade the graphics card to an ATI Radeon 256MB, and replaced the CD/DVD ROM with a new burner. I probably could stand to get another Gig of RAM, but I am going to wait and see how it does with just one.

'Nuff with the geeky stuff. Now I'm gonna go get my nails done!


And a side-note to a maybe un-interested party: (Nevermind that other stuff. I messed up something. What, I don't know, but I'm sorry.)

(TMI edit). I'll be down in a week or two and we'll go do something fun, OK?

Sorry, Roni ... had to edit the TMI stuff. It's not common knowledge yet. Or ever, so it would seem. Thanks for the encouragement but I'm afraid its all over but the crying. I've had a really, really crappy day (yes! Mother's day!) and I'm having a huge pity party. Another lesson learned. Hope it sticks this time and I don't lose my mind again.

See you soon!

Well you know what, you should take that FUD advice for yourself and do something about this yourself. All that old fashion bullshit ain't doing a thing for you now is it? Take the next step yourself, whats the worse that can happen?

Haven't you always known me to be pretty much fearless? That's usually what gets me in trouble! But I just can't do this right now. Not the way things are, not with so little security. Maybe when I get done with school, and the kids are on their own a little more. I just can't make that leap right now. Tell J I'm sorry and I will try to call you guys soon.
