Eyes to See, Ears to Hear

It’s pushing 10pm and I’m trying to do some time-consuming things on my computer.  All of them are my OCD colliding with my gadget addiction.  A couple of windows back on my computer, Windows Vista RC1 is downloading.  I’m going to give it a go as my main operating system.  That would be EXTREMELY unwise if it weren’t for one of the other tasks I have to complete before I start the install.  I’m going to backup my laptop in its entirety by making an image of it on my 120 GB external hard drive.  So, if this Vista thingy causes my notebook to go wacky like our poodle does when we get home, I will have a restore option to get me back to the state I’m in now. I’ve also been using Office 2007 Pro Beta 2 for about the past 3 weeks.  I’m very comfortable with the past Office suite but I have to admit the changes in 2007 are taking some time to get used to.  I do like it.  It’s just that a lot of the menus are totally redone, but while still containing all of the features from 2003.  There are some great changes that I like so far.  I’ll try to post a more thorough review with some screenshots at a later time and will do the same for Vista.
