VISTA. IT SUCKS.

[trespasserswill]

When it is good, it is very, very good fine to use, but when it is bad it is GODAWFUL CRAP.

Over the past few weeks, my laptop started hanging every so often; it would just freeze and I couldn't even shut it down properly. This morning, it hit the point where it won't even boot. Not even in safe mode. I'm going to have to wrassle with the Vista disk and try and see if I can restore it, but I have a sinking feeling that this is headed straight toward "complete reinstall."

Again.

I haven't even owned the computer for a year.

At this point, I may switch over to Ubuntu. The only problem is that I need to use Word 2007 with specific macros, and I can't use those macros in Ubuntu.

ARGH ARGH ARGH.

I can't go on like this. I wonder if I can get the old laptop up and humming... it was slow, slow like molasses in the Antarctic, slow like a snail, but it at least ran.

Fortunately, we have a desktop I can use... but I can't haul it to Martha's Vineyard, now, can I?

It would be an orthodox Linux household if it weren't for client requirements!
