We set up three new computers and unfortunately one of them had to be a lap top with Vista. The integration problems are enormous and the nasty mean spirited things that Vista does to us are quite extraordinary.
We haven't gone over to the dark side yet...to Mac. Mainly because they are so expensive and Mac programs are not compatible with our real estate internet programs. I know, I know...somehow they could be made to work, but the hassle is too time consuming.
I think of Mac people as sort of edgy kinda folks. In my mind they wear Guatemalan woven serapes and rasta their hair. They smoke ganja and vote Green party. They are radical curly light bulb users and grow all their own food. They stay up all night and ride stationary bicycles to power their generators. They dry their own raisins and drink fair trade chicory coffee. They ride to work on their recumbent trikes and buy all their groceries at health food stores.
I could be wrong of course.
So, dear readers in answer to your questions about how the computer transition is going, we have run out of nasty hurtful things to say to each other. Somehow it has turned into a cold war, although neither of us had any personal choice in the initial computer set up, each of us is quick to take offence and give judgement. It is as though we wrote the software programs and don't take kindly to criticism. I am sure the war will end one day, either in gunfire or a peace accord but more likely we will forget about it. As I type , one of the computers is back in the shop, another one has frozen out our programs and plays hide and seek with the icons and the other has developed a mind of its own and refuses to open. We are reduced to using the old stripy lap top that blows out smoke and reaches temperatures exceeding the combustion point.
It takes too much energy to stay mad for long. But I have taken up drinking with meditation.
