Blah... moving in to school next Saturday. I'm looking forward to it, but on the other hand, I'm really kinda not. I can't decide wheter the whole no family thing is good or bad right now. I do like the privacy thing and the not being around for the fights, but I like having them around, too. At any rate, let's hope I can keep my stuff contained this year...

Vista came out a while ago. Those of you who know me probably know that I own a Mac, and that I love it to death, so there's no chance I'd ever touch Vista with a ten foot pole. What experience I've had with PCs has made me dislike them, and what I've heard of Vista doesn't exactly thrill me.

From what I hear, they spent so much time making it pretty and trying to make it different that they ignored almost ignored security and workability. Mom got a new laptop with Vista on it recently, and she had the hardest time just trying to figure out how to save a file. It's not like she's technologically challenged or anything, it was just that the UI is full of toolbars and no dropdown menus. Makes it a little hard to navigate. Like trying to pick out a specific tree in a forest from the air--too crowded.  Well, maybe not quite that bad, but it is harder to use than XP.  :/

No one I've talked to or read about was particularly thrilled with Vista. Here's my question--why'd they bother? Seems like an enormous waste of time and energy.

EDIT:

Hey, visit sweet_spirit03's site.  I did her layout and all the graphics.  x]  Makes me happy.

Finals are over. I came this close to missing my phys/ed exam because I wasn't paying attention to when she told us she rescheduled. >>; Um... oops.

Now I'm home, and I've gotta get my job hunt on. Apparently I should have done this over spring break, but nobody tells me these things. XP
