I guess I’ve found the way to get my friends’ attention, and that is to do posts about Microsoft Vista. I guess people could care less about politics, religion, the famous Lutheran dessert of lime Jell-O, and the words to ”Tessie” the unofficial Red Sox nation’s anthem. So Vista. I have been pleasantly surprised at all of the features of Vista on my computer. So after the replies to the post, e-mails and conversations, I agree that XP really is so easy to use (in fact I’m keeping my old laptop with XP on it and explorer and the programs updated so I can use it if needed.)
I realized that I haven’t noticed how slow Vista runs, is because I’ve upgraded the RAM in my computer, so things are simply running far faster than I’m used to any how. I’ll let you know how the photo program I have chosen for Vista works. Otherwise, hopefully Microsoft can figure out how to get rid of these kinks!
But as I said, anytime I have something really important to say, I should just put Vista in the title, and hopefully everyone will read that post. 
Just for that, I will no longer read any posts with “Vista” in the title
