I just purchased a new desktop computer - this one has the Vista Home Premium operating system installed. It is somewhat different from the older Windows XP version. So far I like the improvements, but it does take some time to figure out all of the changes. Most of it is intuitive, but not everything. My friend, Tom Henry, has been very helpful regarding my questions about Vista. Tom is now our resident expert on Vista as he has been working with a couple of versions of Vista for a few weeks now. He is having a much better "Vista" experience using the Ultimate version. So far, of course it's only been two days, so it's too early to tell, Vista is working fine on my new computer.
The computer is a HP m8000n multi media desktop. It has TV viewing and recording capabilities including a remote control device, which is the next feature I plan to pursue - after I try out the movie making program provided by Microsoft. For my techie blog viewers - I'm aware of the poor ratings that several reviewers have given the HP m8000n computer. I've read most of them. There are many such reviews posted over the Internet in regards to this model. But the deal was too good to pass up... so I'm willing to take the chance. Anyway, I've always been a bit of a sceptic after reading computer reviews, but the odds are that the reviewers are correct about this particular model. The m8000n uses an early version of Vista (this model has been out for some time and I bought a display unit, so who knows how much use it's had?), but I've got a two week window to test it out, so if it has serious glitches they should come out during that period.
I bought the computer at Staples and if you are curious as to why it was such an interesting deal, send me an email and I'll provide you with the details. I think you might be surprised with Staples new policy (only at certain stores) regarding their computer sales. I've got to credit Mr. Henry for making this discovery. Thanks Tom, I think I'm going to like the Staples method for purchasing their computer products.
Oh, I almost forgot, the new picture I just added, to the right and at the bottom of the blog page, is from the California State Fair.
