[Insert sad commentary here.]
Today, the tech world gave me another little, mildly amusing, slap with its kid glove or, rather, a blast of canned air to the face: see, I prefer Corel WordPerfect over MS Word because, well, I just do. We can talk about it another time. Anywho, in the interim between the purchase of the new computer and the arrival of my new WordPerfect software (which still requires a Vista service pack to run), I downloaded the free trial version so I wouldn't be SOL when working on any of my going-projects-of-the-moment (i.e. fellowship apps, the dissertation 'package,' LORs, poems, E201 Undergraduate Writing and Research Exhibition, conference papers/proposals, etc.). Well, the trial period expired, and instead of a dry notice and the expected information about converting to the full version, I got this:
"That was neat, wasn't it?"
Who wrote that?! Nelson Muntz?! Even now, I can hear his trademark "Heh!Heh!" Still, I gotta admire their approach and pluck, glove/canned-air-to-the-face or no.

That's an awesome message!
In all seriousness, I have yet to hear anyone say anything nice about Vista.
You know, I actually don't mind Vista. It has a few pretty cool features, though it took me a while to become accustomed to it.
Having said that, I will admit that it is mildly irritating to have the compatibility issues, but in the name of progress I shall endure! The scanner makes me sad, though, because to it I have a particular sentimental attachment: it was the first 'purchase' my husband and I made together, just after we became engaged (awww, Geeks in love).
