My new computer, "lappy" has arrived. he appears to be healthy and well formed. He weighs 5.7 lbs, which I am told is a good birth weight. He is sleek and shiny, and I hope to keep him that way.

Ok, off the baby humor. My new dell is exactly what I wanted it to be. I will say this too, i bought a book on vista and read it before my laptop arrived. if you are one of those that has not tried vista cause you heard it sucks, it doesn't. It's graphics are great, the security features are much better, and it is easier to do alot of things once you learn how. Overall, i'll give it an 8.5)would have given the highest score of any previous version a 6.5, since they were all just retolled win 95's anyways).
