I'm bored, and I don't mean in the usual sense of having little to nothing to keep me entertained. Every day is the same as the last, to a certain extent. I do the same thing every day at work, then I come home to the same house and sit around doing pretty much nothing. Routine sucks. Only 9 weeks and 3 days to go, though, and then I am FREE! I also got my Ebow today, it's amazing. Basically makes guitar strings hum using magnets and the like, sounds really good. Perhaps not worth £65 yet, but if/when I get good, it might turn out to be. It's good fun anyways, and it doesn't look like I'm getting a Wii anytime soon, so why not.
Vista is crap. So many bugs. I have an XP disc now, so I think I shall roll back. Waste of £70 getting Vista, though. Perhaps I'll use it one day. I should roll back tonight while I have nothing to do. But it is even more boring than browsing the net aimlessly. Maybe I should do it...
Hmm.

If you're gonna complain about ennui you might as well moan with the excellent poncey word rather than boring bored.
"not worth £65 yet, but if/when I get good, it might turn out to be". I promise you it won't, you shoulda just held out for a Wii. Post-rock is wanky rubbish, and the stupidest sounding of the post- genres, possibly behind only emo, urban and indie in terms of really silly names to describe music.

Macs have motion sensors in them so if you like you can download something called "macsaber" and make Star Wars noises while waving your computer around like a 5 year old. Best thing i've ever seen anyone do with a mac.
£830. Yikes. What's the spec? Do you play games? Don't spend that cheque too fast.
Hmm, Vista. Dell and others are starting to offer XP again, which didn't happen with previous transitions. And a few websites still have computers in stock with XP on them. I bought a laptop for my Grandma last week which had Vista Home Basic. Preinstalled, so there weren't any problems. It took a small bit of getting used to (things in different places). I would have preferred XP Pro, because it wouldn't use up as much of the laptop's resources. I don't see any reason to upgrade to Vista Home Basic, considering that one can get XP Media Center for £70 (and not an upgrade).
I'd like to see more little features, like improved notepad, improved PowerToys Calculator included as standard, "Open Command Window here", universal Macros...
I do like Office 2007, however. The interface has been thought about carefully, and is faster to use.
