New Computer with Vista

It finally happened, I had to give up my old system with my beloved XP operating system. The new computer has all the greatest bells and whistles, but it also has the dreaded OS (Operating system) Vista, which should be called a NOS (Network Operating system), since under the hood it looks more like a server than a traditional OS. Since you have to grant rights to everything, just so the programs can run. You can create users, and grant them permissions to login to your server, err, I mean computer, to share files, etc... Everything about this Vista, seems backwards, it tries to look like a Mac, but has menus and features that remind me of Windows NT.

This is the third day in with the server OS, err, computer OS, and frankly, Microsoft - can go piss off!

Sooner and Later, it seems...

Just like the candy now and later, sooner and later it seems that most of us, come to a Ah-ha moment in life. Some refer to this as self discovery, to the more refined it can be coined the moment of enlightenment. A second in which life finally comes into focus, and the beauty of it is reviled.

It might be as simple as the monk who found the meaning in his masters lesson, who simply held a simple flower in front of him. The only problem is that the rest of the monks in the room did not understand. How can you show anyone the true meaning of something, when they lack the vision to see beyond what the material properties of something is. The flower for instance transends time, culture, and beauty that many of us simply can not understand.
