Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Lucy.

Okay, so you can't really see her, but I'm using her right now to post. She's very pretty and sleek and fast. It's going to take some getting used to XP though.

I was so impressed by XP...I finally decided it was time to buy a Mac. ;)

Hooked all up to the cable then?

Nah, I'm still on the modem until Elli comes over and plays network-geek.

the XP ui is easilly killed through two settings:
- right-click on the task bar and go to 'properties', then 'start menu' then select 'classic start menu'.
- right-click on the desktop (not on an icon) and go to 'properties', then 'themes' then change it to 'windows classic'

you'll get the ui back in 98 land (well, mostly. there are a *few* things you can't change back).

I'm a strong proponent of not forcing the end-user to ever have to learn a single new thing simply to use their computer. So much so that when I migrate a user from one box to the other, I'll also migrate their desktop pic and (if I can mange it) icon placement. I hate it when companies (Apple and Microsoft both did this -- at lest M$ allows you to turn the new shite off) force the user to learn entire new ways to use the computer.
