Windows 7

Remember my video card conked out? I’ve been waiting for that replacement, and I got it yesterday, so now I have both my monitors working again. I can’t tell you how weird it was to work with just one monitor again since I have the two at home and two at work. Now I’m back to normal *woohoo* [yes, yes, what I call normal, shut up].

Anyway, when he called me to say my card was in and to bring over my computer, he asked if I wanted Windows 7 put on at the same time. Since I had asked for this before but it was too expensive, when I asked this time and he said the price would be ‘installation fee’ only, how could I say no?

So, boys and girls, I now have Windows 7 on my computer. And I recently had my computer reformatted, so I had just started reinstalling things. Now I’ve gotta start reinstalling things all over again.

However, I will say that my computer is just zipping along – for programs and for the internet. I don’t know if it’s gonna get real slow once I’ve got everything reinstalled here, but I’ll find out and let you know.

And this version is a big change – even from Vista. I had hardly gotten to know the Vista, and it was a change from XP. But this one is a really big change that I’m going to have to study. I can’t even find out how to put a screensaver on my desktop right now, so you’ll understand when I say ‘big’ changes.

Anyway, I’ve got another 4 days to play with it (not today, I have a job to go help with). So far I’m liking it. So far I’d recommend it. Stay tuned for more.
