We got it yesterday and I'm not excited either. Christmas day would be ok.<br />Thanks for stopping by and telling me about the Vista and Windows 7. I think what I hate about 7 is their dang library. I just want to stick things under my docs and not have to wonder where the heck everything is. I think they keep putting it where they see fit.

I think it has stopped snowing, but that is bad. Now it will clear and get real cold- they are calling for 24F. I just hope it doesn't last long. If the temps dip close to dawn, then shoot back up, we can probably get by o.k. If it goes down around midnight and stays there for 6 hours or so, it is going to be bad. It got down to 17F once, and stayed there for 12 hours. Killed just about everything in my garden, even things that I didn't think would be hurt.<br />The only positive thing is that I know where they all came from. I bet I can go back and get another. These plant nurseries are going to make a fortune. The shared plants are what hurt the most to lose.janiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16978979417557447666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774561685078213024.post-88149463683250966592009-12-04T22:30:17.340-06:002009-12-04T22:30:17.340-06:00Aw, rats, I'm using someone else's compute...Aw, rats, I'm using someone else's computer and my last comment came through as from "Diane."
