i should be working (but i'm fixing my computer).

I recently set up three more Vista computers -- an HP, a Dell and a Toshiba, with roughly similar hardware and software packages.

None of them exhibited any strange behavior or problems.

...

Interesting.

Of course, they are not feature rich like my linux machines.

The Toshiba comes with Google Gadgets in the sidebar. But, I discovered that the google gadgets I like to use in Linux were mostly not available. (Maybe there is a way to download them -- I don't know. I looked for them in the same manner I find google gadgets in my linux install, but sorry! Not there.)

But, we do have a clock and the weather, so that's something.

Maybe some day windows boxes will catch up to linux ones.
