vista has been a colossal failure...i was reading that microsoft was either designing a new kernel, or thinking of extending the XP evolution, rather than continuing with vista...i could be wrong

Ahhhhh, sort of like the Old Timer down East that had the same axe that his father gave him. Four new handles and two new heads, but the "same axe......"

WOW... a machine that ran Win3.1 now runs XP??? You are not mortal, sir! :-) Bow, Bow, Bow...
Man, I remember those horrible days of Win3.11- Windows for Workgroups, Which is actually an old indian phrase that means "doesn't run worth a hoot". And don't even THINK about running Photoshop!!!
Who else here remembers Photoshop BEFORE it was an Adobe product? The first flatbed scanner I purchased came with "Thomas Knoll's Photoshop, v0.79", which was two floppy discs (And yes, I still have those disks). Primative by today's standards. Who remembers when you had to select with the marquee too to zoom-in, and then had to remember to zoom-out, otherwise your photo would have this Picasso look to it. :-). Ahhh... Thems' was th' days... hehehe.
