Breaking News! Or Rumor?
I was calling around to some computer repair places today to see about getting my laptop fixed (turns out it'd be cheaper just to buy a new one. Ugh!). One of places I called is a certified Dell dealer and technician. He told me that Microsoft is discontinuing Vista and that if I do decide to buy a new machine to make sure it comes with XP installed on it. He said that there have been so many complaints about Vista, so many people reverting back to XP, and that Vista was flawed before the first one was ever shipped out of the warehouse. Has anyone else heard anything about this? The discontinuation not the complaints, lol. If so, it makes me really happy that the mister and I decided to wait before upgrading.

On Topic...Or Not
I don't know how people can pick one topic, all the time, and post about just the one thing. I can do it some days, but sometimes, like today and yesterday, I have too many things on my mind to blog about just one thing.
Check out the link below. This one is worse than yesterday's book link. I haven't read even one book on this list. Has anyone else read any of them? Am I missing out?
The 10 Best Books of 2007 - New York Times
I'm having computer issues today. I was trying to sync music to my phone and my computer started doing weird things. I tried restarting it and it would shut down but when it was booting back up, the welcome screen wouldn't even come up. I had to do a hard reboot. After that, I had what looked to be a normal desktop but when I tried to open a program, it wouldn't open. So, I restarted again. Normal start up but my comp was so slow that it felt like I hadn't restarted in a year. So, I had to do a system restore to yesterday since I didn't have any points saved today. Everything seems normal but since I don't know what caused the problem in the first place I'm kinda worried that it's going to happen again. We'll see.
And lastly, Pam at 30 Something posted this to her blog today. It has the potential to make you feel stupid, but it's fun and addictive. Give it a try. Geography Quiz After a few tries, I finally made it to level 5 but no further.
