My New Laptop

A couple of weeks ago, John ordered me a new laptop. My old one has several issues (mainly cosmetic) and he didn't think it was worth getting the items repaired. Also, my laptop is by far one of the most used electronics in our house (sad, but true!), so it was a little easier to justify purchasing the new computer. I LOVE my new laptop...in midnight blue. I chose this color since it is the same color as my new car! I'm still in the process of transferring files and links to the new computer and learning about the fun new features. We have been experiencing terrible internet and phone service and unfortunately, since the laptop arrived, the internet has been down the majority of the time :( Hopefully, this issue will be fully resolved by Friday since we are having new service installed for our phone, internet, and television. I'm sure it will be much better...needless to say it can't be much worse than what we have been living with. Well, enough of my tangent vent, but thanks for "listening". The biggest change is the fact that the new computer has Windows Vista instead of Windows Internet Explorer which I'm so accustomed too. I'm sure I will adjust in due time to the changes. Any comments about Windows Vista vs. Internet Explorer are welcome. I would love to hear how the two compare and which you prefer using on your computer. Thanks in advance for any suggestions and information.
