Happy December 2010 and Best
Wishes from sunny Las Vegas (although
today is cloudy and a little chilly, which
is more unusual than not) ;-}
Donna and I sincerely hope you had
a wonderful and bountiful Thanksgiving
with your families (blizzard-like condi-
tions and snow not withstanding), a
successful and protable Black Friday,
a glorious, productive and adventurous
Black Monday, and of course, disposed
of all those delicious leftover turkey
parts efciently, ugh!
Since I’m writing this in November,
my birthday month, I’d like to share with
you some photos from my new camera
Donna gave me (see graphics).
Also, lest I forget, for some reason or
other, may all of your Christmas wishes
come true for you and yours, and may
you have a Happy and Prosperous com-
ing New Year. Now, on with the show.
Prelude
So here’s the deal. I could have just
as easily had Windows 7 PRE-installed
in my “Problem Child” PC when I took it
in to be xed, again, HIAWC
4
to the
Doctors of Technology here in Vegas,
as to pre-install Windows Vista (lots
more on this later). Reason being, as a
Microsoft Partner, I have no shortage of
licenses for either one, so that’s no big
deal, right? Wrong! I thought I needed
a new PC running either XP or Vista in
order for it to qualify for this Review.
Here’s the “Poop from Group,”
as we called it back in my USAF days
of yore. You know, if I would have had
to get a plane ready every time I had to
y it, like I do my PC’s before a writing
a Review, I’d have never made it off the
ground, let alone taxi it out to the takeoff
runway, it’s that bad!
Introduction
Let’s get one thing straight right
out of the chute, here. Funny choice of
words, that “chute” - because I’ve bailed
out of a crippled, like said dead, DEAD,
wing-missing DEAD, RCAF jet aircraft,
and like then as now, I didn’t have any
choice to do either one (see above) at all.
In this case, however, it’s because of my
ambivalence over losing all of my pre-
cious XP’s, and their dear and precious
“Stuff,” versus my total “Dread,” said
“Aversion/Angst/Disgust” of upgrading
to Vista/Win7. More on that later, too!
There are just way too many reasons
to count to justify that bold statement.
