Woe is me
Yesterday in a lightning, unforeseen trip, I traveled to Midland to buy a copy of Windows 7. I've never used Windows and wouldn't now except that I have an application which must have Windows. I admit that some of it is snobbery but in this town if it were known that I knew something about Windows, I'd be expected to fix Windows machines. This is not being in control of your life.
I wanted to put Windows 7 on my 17" MacBook Pro, which has all the connections that I need, but couldn't find a copy of Windows 7. Only upgrades.
This means of course that no one in Midland would be silly enough to buy a new copy of Windows 7.
So last night I bit the bullet and for the sake of convenience, ordered my very first Windows machine, an HP notebook. Which will serve.
But I'm going to have to isolate it at night in a safe lest all the Macs in the office suddenly start displaying the Blue Screen of Death.
I'll hunker in my foxhole to avoid the incoming.

I like fixing Windows machines. I always know I will have something to do.
Hijack Alert ! Why has no one mentioned the D.A.'s involvement in busting up the private orgy at the completely rented out Comfort Inn ?
This NEEDS to be addressed !!!!!
Is morality now backed up by a gun again ?
To think of all the sales tax revenue now lost! And motel tax revenue lost...for shame!
You've got a few weeks before you need to activate it, and there is an easy hack out there to make the upgrade version install without a previous windows install.
Or use this crude method, install the upgrade edition, which will not activate without finding a previous installed copy, then do it again, right on top what you just installed. The second install will activate just fine. Weird, but it works.
