I wasn&#8217;t too thrilled about the switch, but needed to buy a laptop to do genealogy work while traveling. Ordered one, and, voila, Microsoft has convinced computer manufacturers that, come what may, users will switch to Vista. Actually, the OS isn&#8217;t bad. Of course, I will have to move my genealogy files, etc. to it, and then I&#8217;m planning to rebuild the desktop machine. Seems the original motherboard had a weak memory slot and I couldn&#8217;t make it recognize the four DIMM strips in it. It would only recognize two of them no matter how I configured it. The new laptop will permit me to rebuild it, and I will use that machine almost exclusively as a photo editing work station and media center. In the meantime, I&#8217;ll be able to read e-mail, keep working on my family history, and do simple photo editing on the laptop. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been spending the last few days installing software and hardware on a new laptop, which runs Windows Vista.
