Well, its been a year since Microsoft launched Windows Vista.  There’s been tons of press coverage on it and all the issues that it has brought forward.  And for once, a new OS launch got retailers to promote the previous version of an OS on their computers, hoping to not turn people off!

A little Mac envy here

I’ve always liked the look the Macintosh OS.  But I am a Windows user and more comfortable in that environment (well up to XP anyway).  I was catching up my “Lab with Leo” episodes and a free file on a recent episode was for a program called “RocketDock“.  This program is simply great!

My day starts off, usually, at about 6am.  Get up and have a shower, get dressed and turn on Breakfast Television by [...]

I hope that you’ll enjoy this blog and comment [...]
