I Want A Microsoft Blogger Laptop!
Recently, Microsoft has caught all kinds of flak from the blogosphere about sending Acer Ferrari laptops to "popular" bloggers to review Vista, the latest Windows OS version. Now, Microsoft is asking those bloggers to return the laptops when they are done, or to give them away like Laughing Squid is going to by auctioning the laptop and giving the proceeds to EFF.
Well, Microsoft, you should send me one because I would then review Vista for you. See, I'm a software engineer and while I've been in the software industry for 10 years, I've always been on the trailing end of technology when it comes to Windows. Why? Cause I'm stubborn and I like what I like. For instance, I use Windows 2000 on my 2.5 year old laptop and I only just installed Windows XP on my gaming desktop because I was having some driver problems with the hardware on 2000. This means that only 5 years after XP was released did I adopt it at home. Prior to XP, I jumped on the 2000 bandwagon when XP was released, updating from NT4.51 and 98.
So Mr. Gates, Mr. Ballmer, Microsoft, if you can hear me, send me one of these coveted laptops because then I can adopt Vista the same year its released. Otherwise, I'll only do it when forced in 5 years. If you do send me one, I'll be sure to adopt it at work ASAP and write opinions about Vista somewhere in the blogosphere.

Though we do not admit as special sources of the dream the subjective vioxx state of excitement of the sensory organs during sleep, which seems to have been demonstrated by Trumbull Ladd, we are nevertheless able to explain this excitement through the regressive revival of active memories behind the dream.. Have you yours? I acetaminophen think it was a chance shot; but it told all the same.. No sooner said than done; and our lodine quondam storekeeper a few days afterward attended an extensive sale of real estate, at the Merchants' Exchange...
