I bought my first new computer in over three years. The Tech Guy installed it yesterday. It's pretty nice: 19" flat screen monitor, soft-touch keyboard, Windows Vista, most-current versions of all the standard software. I think I'm one of the first persons in my town to have Vista and the updated MS software products. The Tech Guy, who has a busy practice, said, "You're my guinea pig."

Warning: Vista looks cool; Vista looks different. It definitely has some neat features, but it'll be a week or two before I Fonz it (thumbs up or thumbs down). It took the Tech Guy and me two minutes to figure out how to open a document in Word. Thumbs down. When I shrink screens, I can put my cursor over it and it'll bring up a mini-screen to show me what's on it (so I don't have to leave my current screen--thumbs up). I'll try to remember to give you an update, but if I don't, it means I forgot and that means Vista is working well.

No comments on this blog yet. I had hoped that they'd be activated last night, but we're not there yet. When the feature is activated, post a (civilized and intelligent) message or two so I know it's working. I'm hoping to have fairly-active comboxes, though I think my style of blogging doesn't lend itself to a lot of comments. I group topics in one post, hence people may not feel like pinpointing what part of the post is funny, idiotic, infuriating, etc. Based on [other blogs that are about my size](http://dprice.blogspot.com/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com) (I bring in 300-400 visitors a day, about 3,000 different users per month), I should get about five to ten comments on the various posts.
