I’ve just about had it with Vista.  While it looks prettier than XP and there are a few more features, there are many things about the functionality and customization that drive me crazy.  I’ve had issues with programs randomly closing (crashing) without error or warning, I’ve had issues with folder and file displays, I’ve had issues with file copies, I’ve had issues with the permissions manager, and I can go on.

I am certainly not an Apple Fanboy, but my iPhone’s ease of use and my experience with other Apple products have kept me happy(ier than that of MS).  While MS is actually my bread and butter, I am disappointed with Vista.

Obviously Apple has the hardware down.  And apparently the OS as well.  I’m committed to saving for a new Macbook Pro and a household iMac which will probably go to my better half.

It’s official. Destination Angerer/Motylinksi (2) is Cancun, MX. After this arctic cold spell we have been experiencing here, I am ready for some sun. We’ve been debating back and forth over the last couple of months about a cruise, a carribbean destination, or a Mexican destination. We finally settled on Cancun for a week at the end of February. I can’t wait for the beach, the booze, the sun, and maybe some snorkeling… oh and the mule ride.

On a second note, Tina and I attended the AVP Hot Winter Nights tournament at the Target Center last night. It was cool to see the pros play. Some of the names were non-descript if you don’t follow the AVP, but they are still pros. The played King of the Beach style which made it interesting. All of the matches were pretty even which was surprising. I figured there would be at least one pairing either on the Men’s or Women’s side that would dominate.

After talk of all the sun, I am hoping it’s a cure for what I think is a flu or cold bug that I coming down with. I’ve had a sore throat the last two days and I can feel it slowly creeping into my ears, nose, and head. I’m waiting/dreading the morning I wake up with a full blown infection or flu. Unfortunately most of the medicine that helps me is the drowsy kind that makes a guy feel weird. So it’ll have to wait for the weekend.

Speaking of this weekend, it’s the Annual Sno-ball Open. At this point it looks like I will be staying home as it won’t do much for my pending misery. Drinking outdoors while golfing on a large slab of ice tend not to help these situations.

P.S. I finally got an iPhone. It’s been everything I thought it would be and more… next up is a MacBook Pro.
