Finally Did It-Vista

I am running Vista. (Business Edition)  Note the update desktop screenshot to the right. Click the thumbnail for 1440x900 goodness.

I have had it here since it was first released.  I got it and Office 2007 as a part of the "Power Together" promotion.  Haven't been able to run it since my computer was so old, but the new computer runs it NICELY. Games are running fine, and the only hardware I had a problem with was the Intel network drivers, but I was able to update them and poof, all is good.  Had to tweak the living poop out of it though to get rid of all the annoying prompts and ugly huge shortcut arrows.

Glass looks beautiful.  My next question is, should I install Office 2007?  It's sitting here, and I am running Office 2003.  Opinions?  Leave a comment or use the chat box below and to the right for live real time chat.

Mission Accomplished!

In under 24 hours I was able to raise $90.  I purchased COD4 from Steam using Paypal, then donated the $36 and change that remained to my clan's servers. I would especially like to thank my clan.

I would also like to thank the folks over at Cerulean Studios' forums that were kind, donated without a second thought, kind and not jealous or attitude ridden.  It was unbelievable how some of those guys acted.  Completely asinine.  I guess there are always the good and the bad, I would like to thank the good guys, not the morons that were worried about making a statement, being dominant, or appearing aggressive and in the lead on a forum.  Pathetic, jealous, tiny people.

Beg Beg Beg Plead

As you can see below, wifey let me get a new computer.  She also let me get Orange Box because I found it for really cheap.  I really want Call Of Duty 4 so I can play it on the new system, but wifey says "NO MORE FOR YOU!".

So, I am in a bind.  I cannot justify buying "another damn game" to her, but I am dying to have it. So I am BEGGING for donations.  I only want to get to $50 so I can purchase it through Steam.  Any extra will be returned if requested or donated to my clan's servers.

Lulz! Now With Sound Effects!

My 9 year old used Sound Recorder, then imported into movie maker.  It's too cute!

My 9 Year Old's First Video

My 9 year old comes running into the room and say "I FOUND OUT HOW TO RECORD MY LINE RIDER VIDEOS!"  He then runs back to the computer room.  A few minutes later I hear "I CAN ADD TITLES!".

About 15 minutes later he calls me into the room to see his finished video.  He made this all on his own, without my help, figured it all out himself.
