Welcome back.

No problem, Danielle. Regarding the Vista editions, this page will probably be helpful as far as comparing them: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/compare-editions/default.aspx

There's a new reality show on VH1, starting next Monday at 9:00 PM ET, called "I Want to Work for Diddy". Is anyone else going to check it out? I'm a huge Diddy fan and I watched the casting special and it looks like it has potential. There's a certain made for TV element, of course, but Diddy's a great businessman, not just a showman, so I think it'll be interesting/inspirational from that angle, as well.

If you read any blogs, what are your favorites?

I have Office 2007 on the desktop and laptop and I like it, actually. The menu was new, but I got used to it and now I kinda like it. The previous versions of Office are good, as well. I used Office 2000 for a long time. Hey Ed, To disable the UAC features, go into the Control Panel, then to User Accounts. Your account should be selected. Click the "Turn User Account Control on or off" link, uncheck the check box and then press "OK". You'll have to restart. And, I think, that should take care of it. Hope that helps. Patrick

I use Vista Ultimate on both my desktop and my laptop. I bought them both at the end of last year. I like Vista. If I was buying a new one now, I'd get Vista. At the end of the day, either is fine, though. Vista does receive a lot of criticism, but my problems with it have been relatively few and, besides those, it runs really well for me. The security prompts have annoyed a lot of people, but I just turned them off when I first set it up, which isn't hard to do, so I don't have them. I have only used Vista for about 8 months, though, and I think a lot of the criticisms that it has received were based on the initial product and how it was received, rather than how it is now.

No problem. Glad to hear that. As far as zombie flims, I have to say I haven't seen many. So, I can't really compare. But, I did see I Am Legend. Big Will Smith fan.

They have then, for sure.

Do you collect anything? When I was younger, I used to collect baseball cards and I still have my collection, which is pretty good sized. Now, I guess you could say I called music. I collect Bad Boy Records related music, merchadise and memorabilia now. Have a big collection of vinyl, CDs, cassettes, VHS tapes, digital audio and more.

Chuck Norris? Die? BLASPHEMER!!!!! I just like the title of the game.

A bunch. You can go to the start here: http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?p=r&user=ItsJustSomeRandomGuy&page=3 They are pretty popular.
