Hiya Peeps!

I got lost for a few days (Nor'Easter was trying to bite us) but I'm back now.

TY, TY, TY for all the advice and replies! I've been checking in on PCWorld.com and ConsumerReports.com and places like that, and trying to get some info on Vista and Dell and other stuff.

I found out that Windows XP is being phased out for new puters. It's still available for office networks and upon insistance for home as well, but Microsoft would like Vista to take it's place ASAP.

I think this is where ignorance is bliss for us computer dummies. When I got ME I didn't know my ass from a hole in the ground and I navigated it quite well, if I do say so myself. Not that I know the difference between a hole and my ass, but still far behind most in the knowledge department, I'm just not scared of taking the leap to Vista.

I haven't confirmed anything yet and I am still researching and tweeking. I'll get back to you all when I get all squared away.

Congratulations to your son and his new wife Cobalt and Chey! Oh...and you service me just fine everytime you pop in one of my threads!

I agree about the viruses and spam and dial-up stuff Casper...and nobody is shooting anybody! Least I could understand that silly cliche...lol!

Soda and db...TY for the feedback! NOTED and NOTED! *hugs*
