Stupid Bodies…

So I somehow managed to tweak my back monday AM... getting into the camry of all things. Kinda odd. So I skipped the gym on monday, and I have been laying low since then, being nice to my back, lifting with my knees, etc.

The odd thing is that it doesn't always hurt, just sometimes. And sometimes I will forget for hours that it is weird, then I'll do something weird. Makes me think I just tweaked a muscle. Grr.

I have been hyper aware of such things since Lisa screwed up her back, that is scary... so I am trying to be careful.

windows vista.

so my boss got a new laptop and surprise to me, it had vista business on it. Sure, we are not prepared to deal with vista machines, but whatever. Anyway. So I am setting it up for him, and I am not impressed by any means. It is a Core 2 Duo with 2gb RAM and it is still slow. SLOW. Using a SLOWER cpu on my macbook, I was expecting more. And it appears to be a lame update in that it seems to be all fluff. All pretty and less speed. XP feels faster.

And evidently it is a huge moneymaker to install every app in the world on the machine, because it seems there are 40+ installed demos and trials and whatnot. Awesome. And needless to say, no install CD/DVD where I could REINSTALL it without all that crap. Great.

Perhaps I am spoiled in my OSX world. Such it is.

Feature wise, it is close to my macbook. intel core duo, 2gb RAM, 160gb HDs, both have cameras, etc. I will say when you are used to a slot load, the flimsy trays are not impressive.

Oh well. Whatchagonnado.
