The instructions basically said, "Stick this in your drive and wait."
So I did.
Setup initiated and before long I was looking as a screen that warned me to uninstall four programs before continuing. Since all of them are programs I don't use, like Dell Modem Diagnostics, I naturally ignored the warning. Windows also warned me that the installation would take up to... "several" hours. Those of you who have installed a significant number of programs (defined as: more than zero) know that "several" could mean anywhere from a half hour to... infinity!
So the first bit of good news is that it took exactly "several" hours "more or less."
There were a number of reboots and too many moments when I didn't know whether the install was going OK or whether the screen had frozen. Luckily, the overall progress was smooth and flawless...
Until the very end.
That's when I was asked out of the Microsoft blue for the "Product Key." That's the string of numbers and letters Microsoft uses to validate your windows install... and which I didn't have because Vista had come pre-installed.
No problem, the message tells you where to find it - "a multi-colored label on the side or bottom of your computer."
So I looked at the sides - no label, of course. So now I have to look on the BOTTOM? Of my running computer that I dare not interrupt? Well, I took the pile of debris off the top of the case and... it was like when they found the "Big W" in Mad, Mad, World. There... right on top... was that beautiful multi-colored label! I was never so happy to see a sticker in my life!
I entered the code and mere moments later... I was told the key was invalid.
No problem, I put the Caps Lock on and re-entered the crap.
Same result.
Being a baseball fan, I carefully entered the string a third time and... struck out. Hey, I said I was a fan, not a player!
Now here's where it gets interesting....
There was a checked box below for "Automatic authorization from the Net" That sounded GREAT!
One problem,,, the "Next" button was grayed out. Amazingly, unchecking the "automatic..." caused the "Next" button to be clickable.
So I clicked it...
And my desktop appeared!
Am I validated? Who knows. Am I concerned that I'm invalid? HELL YES! I saw something somewhere about a thirty-day test ride, and besides, this is MICROSOFT, you fool!
I'm sorry, my frustration was showing... you're not a fool, I was transferring because I hate being the fool - so regularly.
So let's deal with the good for now....
As I said, there was my desktop in all it's blue glory! The trouble is, my desktop had been a shade of medium brown two hours ago! So I brought up my browser and... there was the familiar battleship gray... which had been gold two hours ago!
And the desktop and browser fonts were a lot smaller...
The bottom line is, Windows 7 has returned all my settings to default, including the welcome screen that had been a lovely scene of the view out my back door. No problem, it should only take a week or so to get all the settings back to the way they were. My desktop and browser are already back... except that I couldn't just click the theme I'd been using - because that's gone. I had to obtain the colors from a networked computer using a color picker.
And there's more bad news (that I know about). Windows Mail is also gone... Let me put that another way... the email program I'd been using is GONE!
OK, that's not completely accurate. It's still there, it just won't run... no mater how much administrative approval I lump on it! I learned from the web that the emails and settings are still there - just waiting to be imported by "your new email program"... which I, of course, don't have!
But at least Microsoft is consistent - they did the same thing when they eliminated the great Outlook Express from Vista... and replaced it with WINDOWS MAIL! This time there's not even a replacement, something about an anti-trust settlement...
But there is a bit of actual good news - I haven't had any programs not work yet (other that's Microsoft's own Windows Mail, of course) and Windows 7 does seem to be the slightest bit faster than Vista, even if it boots slower. But I may be able to tweak that slow boot, and the tweaking starts as soon as this posts.
But get this, When I went to save this column to my usual folder, I got a message that said, "You don't have permission to save to this folder, would you like to save to My Documents?" This is what drives me nuts. I'M THE ADMINISTRATOR! Who do I need to get approval from? And they said the security restraints that I turned completely off in Vista were less troublesome in Windows 7? All I know is that I never had to have someone approve my saves in crummy old Vista!
So will that person please identify himself already?
One last thing... the Windows taskbar that used to be populated with rectangular icons of running programs that took up a lot of horizontal space when "several" programs were running? That's gone too.... replaced by square icons of the running programs... That transforms the horizontal space the icons used to take up into VERTICAL SPACE they now take up! (see below) So... more taskbar space, less screen space... does that seem like a great tradeoff to you?
Pictures are not to scale, they are merely meant to show the difference in height between old and new, and if you look at the clock on the right, you get the best idea. The Windows 7 taskbar is about 50% taller.
Edit: My Windows 7 is activated! Unless I misread something, the installation directions were incorrect - they wanted the product key for 7 - inside THE BOX!, not ON THE COMPUTER!
How could I have misread that?!?
Also, you can shrink the taskbar by using SMALL ICONS. That makes the running programs icons the same size as every other icon. Now THERE'S change you can believe in!
Which reminds me.. screw Scumbama!
Edit 2: Damn, I forgot to add "politics" to the keywords

On a personal note, I was very disappointed to see that the Arizona Republic was down so little on Sunday. Ours is a truly rotten (as in "liberal") paper, but I guess I should take heart in that it's daily circulation was down bbig and the the Sunday circulation wasn't up considering that Phoenix continues to grow in population.

Of particular note here is the fact that there are no big liberal papers that grew in circulation, and the little paper that took on Hairy Reid, the Vegas Review-Journal, grew significantly.
I was also pleased to see that the liberal big three, Times, Times, Post were hefty losers.
One bit of bad news is the big drop in numbers at the New York Post, but it's a small price to pay to have so many others foundering.
Hey, it's a small sliver of good news and hope, but it's all I got.
I mean right here, as in a box sitting next to me, and I don't mind saying that I'm apprehensive. And not just because this is the first time since DOS 6.0 that I've upgraded to the newest Microsoft version immediately upon release.
In fact, I never even saw Windows XP. I stayed with Windows 98 right up until I got a new computer last year that came loaded with Vista - and trouble!
See, Vista was an initial calamity for me. So much so that I sent back the first computer I'd bought because of it and I waited five months until I felt I was psychologically prepared to tackle Vista again.
And when I got the computer I'm using now, I really was prepared. I had relived the horror that was Vista again and again in my mind, and I'd gained more coping ability with each flashback. Of course I'd also done some reading and learned about the things I was doing wrong, as well as the Vista quirks, and I'd reconciled with the fact that Microsoft had arbitrarily moved and hidden everyday aspects I was used to accessing routinely.
And even then, as I detailed last year, I still suffered serious attacks after I thought I'd tamed the beast. But that's the nature of a wild animal, isn't it? It's the prime reason why we're advised not to have them as pets, much less running our computers!
Now, I do an incredible amount of tinkering with my OS, and I'm a freeware junkie, so I'm constantly trying new and relatively untested programs. Thus a lot of my troubles are my own doing, but at least some of the major ones aren't - like the time I turned on my computer one morning and it wouldn't boot.
Because something had become corrupted or because Vista was on vacation, I never was able to determine which. Luckily, I had downloaded a wonderful freeware backup program literally days before, and amazingly, it worked flawlessly. My computer was restored in about an hour.
Except that you never know if the backup will work until you need to use it. If it hadn't, all would not have been lost, but I would have had to start from scratch with factory settings, reinstall SP! and SP2, DotNet3.5, all the Microsoft security upgrades, my programs, and reconfigure my settings - a multi-day operation involving much screaming and several silent strokes!
Now if you're unfamiliar with the Microsoft intricacies, you may not know that you don't get a backup program with home editions of Windows. There is something MSFT calls "backup," but it only works if your installation hasn't been totally corrupted.
Luckily, and only recently, free programs have become available that do restore your C-drive from scratch - three programs to be exact, and I've only found one that works.
I say that because I've since tried the other two. One may work, but the backup took up too much space and required nine hours to back up, so I never tried to restore anything, and the other literally took four days nonstop to restore the drive. Of course, I didn't wait that long, I stopped it after nine hours when it was 9% complete. When I wrote the author, he advised that apparently the bootable CD the program created didn't recognize something on my computer... like a CLOCK?!?
I mean, mine is a Dell with Vista HP. What could be more mainstream?
Anyway, that brings me back to the box containing Windows 7. Everything I've read says that Win7 is a welcome relief, but these observations are made by actual geeks, not schlubs who know just enough about Windows to be a danger to themselves and their family.
I so want to just rip open this box and install my Lucky...
...but I already know that there are changes that I'll see immediately and which the geeks have assured me are for the better. I'll be the judge of that!
Because I've also heard that some of my favorite little programs may no longer work, and that unlike Vista, there's no "compatibility mode" that allows old programs to run under old rules, and while I was able to get 99% of my old programs to run under Vista, there were several that I loved which are now history, and the absence of two of them causes me no end of nuisance to this day.
And my life-saving backup program? Will I only be restored to Vista, or will it work with the upgrade? You know when I'll find out...?
So I wonder how many of you will feel the apprehension I'm feeling? I mean, I know Windows 7 will be an improvement... it almost has to be, but how much agony will I have to endure before I'm 'enhanced?"
THAT is the question Hamlet never had to ask, and he STILL almost killed himself!
So what are my chances?!?
I want to be clear and say that I like Snowy. And that's bigger than it may seem, because, to my knowledge, he's the only liberal I like, and I intend to keep it that way. And when he's gone...
But I like Snowy because:
A) He means well
2) He's un-American
I'm sorry, make that "non-American."
And so I'm able to accept comments from Snowy that would get other liberals unceremoniously blown out of here, and with that, I refer you to his remarks here.
Having railed against Fox, the Right, and opposition to Obamacare, you will note how little real knowledge he has and how non-specific are his charges. And when I offer to engage him and try to get him to focus, he begs off. Because he has to... he's smarter than your average liberal.
The problem is that what passes for argument in Liberaland is anything but. To liberals, all it takes to make a case is to string together a bunch of generalities, and it matters little whether they are factual or even related. It's Argument By Deluge!
And when Snowy makes such statements in Liberaland, the truly mindless stand up and cheer. But every once in a wile, a liberal such as he thinks he has the ability to take his argument to a venue where people actually think, and before long, he either realizes, as Snowy has, that he's in over his head, or he gets run out of town for being, shall we say, less than serious.
Please forgive me for being redundant, but there is simply no liberal argument that can stand up to scrutiny, and there is no rational liberal. That doesn't mean you have to be like me and hope they all die horrible deaths (including their families, their pets, and their landscaping) in some manner that befits the beliefs they hold, but you have simply got to stop treating liberals as if they were human!
But seriously, folks, if you don't know, Snowy could be far worse. I mean, have you met John...?
If you missed today's Glenn Beck Show, you need to catch the replay. What an astoundingly good job he's done in detailing the repercussions of continuing down the path we're on.
Here are a couple other things that some people may not realize...
Outside of what Obama has done and is trying to do, the minimum wage may be the single biggest factor in lengthening and worsening the (currently) Lesser Depression. It severely limits what businesses are able to do in terms of price reductions and still remain in the black.
Not to mention that a lot of people would probably work for less today if they had the opportunity.
And the 'wonderfully" low interest rates are actually a wealth transfer - a way for the government to not only stealthily tax the rich, but to tax anyone who saves. Your savings are now earning 70% less (or more!) than they were two years ago. That means the government is paying less to finance the debt and you're a big subsidizer to that cause.
Rush Limbaugh was saying today that when he started out, he wanted to be recognized as the smartest guy in the country... and that he has succeeded. But he immediately lamented that it has done him no good because he and we) are surrounded by arrogant and corrupt morons.
Now I'm not going to quibble with Rush about intelligence because he is very smart, and he may be right in his self-assessment. What I want to talk about is his assertion that we're surrounded by morons. Sure that is self-evident, but what's so concerning is that they're smart enough to know that we have to treat them as equals under the law.
I mean, animals don't get equal treatment - yet, though the morons are trying because it benefits the morons in the same way that a sea of illegal aliens and ignorant, under-educated, dependent people benefit the Democratic Party.
I'm always amused when someone says that Obama is "very intelligent," and it doesn't come only from the left. Don't get me wrong, Obama is surely the smartest man in the room - considering that he carefully selects the rooms he enters. But the fact is, if you think Obama is intelligent, he is... compared to YOU.
But to me, he's not very smart, he doesn't speak very well, and he's as phony as a three dollar bill with his face on it. And of utmost importance is that Obama is willing to employ thuggish tactics with the full approval of the moronic throngs who see him as more intelligent than they are.
Most people who think Obama is smart also think that "global warming" is real and that public healthcare will somehow be beneficial. Sometimes I think I'm watching a cartoon.
And here's the real problem... people are smart enough to put sentences together, but not smart enough to decide the future of the country... much less yours and mine. And yet the morons control the business of America because there are so many of them. How do you propose to overcome that?
One slightly encouraging fact is that Rush's audience is composed of a great many people who are nowhere near as smart as he is, yet they are able to see reality where true morons can't. Now it's true that the insane can't be converted, and who'd trust them if they could? And sadly, the insane a very large segment of the liberal population who also can't be committed because they can dress and feed themselves and their families.
But the good news is that there may be enough people on the left who are simply misguided and pathetic, and those people may be reachable to some degree. Especially when the disaster that is Obama has attained critical mass.
Assuming it's not too late...
The bad news is that there's no right-thinking person who has stood up and put themselves on the line for freedom. Sarah Palin probably embodies the best of the rest, but she's so far too weak. As is Michelle Bachmann. Thaddeus McCotter looks the most promising to me, but I'm not hopeful about him. He's perceptive and smart, articulate and funny, but will he stand up and be the rock America needs?
In the meantime, we're going to continue to sink further and faster into the abyss.
Meanwhile, he's certainly not the smartest guy in the country, but he's the smartest guy this week, and Today, Glenn Beck is in the midst of a brilliant sixty minutes as I post this...
I've long had a bunch of pictures that I've wanted to get rid of, and so today, it was either write something about Scumbama or delete pics - which would you choose?
That's right, I decided to write about Scumbama! Specifically, I was trying to decide what to call The Most Dangerous Man Alive.
That's still up in the air, so I've decided that "Scumbama" will do for now.
So now that I was done talking about our Pig-President, I turned to deleting pictures, and before long, I was screaming as loud as I do whenever I see Scumbama's face in my family room!
Why? Well, let me ask you, how long has Vox been around? And don't you think they've had enough time to make things easily workable - or to at least provide a detailed help file that guides you through?
So try to delete a picture if you don't know how to do it goin' in. Here's what the instructions from Voxdamnit say:
The Organize page makes it easy to add photos and manage all of your items in one place. To get there, hover over My Vox in the on any Vox page and click Organize in the drop down menu that appears.
See, the Organize page makes it easy.
JUST TRY TO FIND THE GODDAMN ORGANIZE PAGE!
Btw, the exclamation mark above was to indicate "near stroke level" agitation.
But it tells you how to get there you think... just hover over MY VOX "in the on any Vox page!"
Got that it's IN THE ON!
On ANY VOX PAGE!
So I went to EVERY VOX PAGE!
That's right, every one!
And I didn't see so stinking "MY VOX" on any one of 'em?
I even turned off all my blocking mechanisms in case I'd "MY VOX" off my screen long ago, and.... NOTHING?
No "My Vox," so nothing to hover "IN THE ON" on!
Thus... no ORGANIZE!
AND NO DELETED PICS!
Thanks, Vox, no wonder you're PROBAMA? It's NO PROBLEMA!
Last Thursday on "The Factor," O'Reilly had on Juan Williams and some dirtbag by the name of Warren Ballentine to Discuss the orchestrated attack on Rush Limbaugh, and skipping the details, Juan Williams had to audacity to defend Limbaugh for his Barack The Magic Negro Parody to which Ballentine replied, "You're on the porch, Juan."
The remark went by so fast that no one, including me, heard it at the time, but when I read about it later, my jaw dropped. It's easily the most blatantly racist remark I've heard since Robert Byrd!
So today, O'Reilly had Williams back to discuss it, and O begins by saying that he hadn't caught the comment at the time, but if he had, he would have "scolded Mr. Ballentine." WHAT? I would have thrown the pig off the air the way an umpire throws a manager out of a baseball game."
Now O'Reilly did say that Ballentine wouldn't be back, but so what?
Then he asked Mary Katherine Hamm if what "some people on the right" do is any different.
Now I'm screaming! WHO, YOU PIECE OF GARBAGE? GIVE ME A QUOTE YOU ROTTEN ROTTER!
Nothing was forthcoming... of course. Did he and his team not have enough time to come up with any?
Or is, as I've been saying, O'Reilly the scum of the Earth?
--------
Meanwhile, while looking up the spelling of Ballentine, I learned from a filthy liberal that Fox has "fired" another racist. Mark Lamont Hill. Now it's hard to rank scum, but Hill has to be right up there, and I ordered O'Reilly to get rid of the racist two months ago. Apparently someone is finally listening?!?
I want to thank everyone who has supported me over these many months on BloggersBase because now that's over, and I want to thank BloggersBase for providing opportunity and rewards both real and emotional, but I'm not going to.
I made the decision to leave well before I learned that there would be no further rewards - at least from BloggersBase, that is.
The primary reason I was leaving was that Humor had gone so far downhill that I came to feel it was demeaning just to be there, and it doesn't look like it's going to turn around, most especially now that rewards have been withdrawn. The problem is that writing humor takes and enormous amount of effort, such that even with rewards and if you win them, you're still working for a buck and change per hour.
On the other hand, if you're a prepubescent punk posting pilfered pics, your return could be in the neighborhood of $500. per hour - if you were to win. Which you didn't, but that's the point...
Luckily, none of THEM were able to win, but it was only a matter of time. Lately, I've seen my scores drop while their scores rose to outrageous levels, though I must confess that giving them anything more than a 2 is outrageous to me. They shouldn't be receiving rewards, they should be paying fines!
But BB is what it is, and I came to feel like the aging gunfighter who has to worry about some young punk calling him out in every new town he goes to. The difference was that I had to worry about people who couldn't say something funny to save their lives so they showed me PICTURES of aging gunfighters sleeping in odd positions while their friends hid out and took potshots at me at three in the morning.
And I apologize right now for that tortured metaphor.
Every tinhorn was out to make a name for himself any way he could. And that meant getting friends without consciences who were willing to vote others down and the tin-whores up. So I wasn't even facing GITs (gunfighters-in-training), I was facing photographers' assistants!
Far worse than losing would be the horror of losing to one of these nitwits. It would have turned a wonderful experience into lousy memory, and I couldn't allow that to happen. So I am retiring, and I'll be everlastingly grateful that I'm undefeated. Last January, I never could have imagined that I'd have had so many personal questions answered this year and get paid for it too!
So I guess Obama can count me as one of his job creations?!?
I got everything I possibly could out of BloggersBase including some new friends, and one whom I've come to hold very dear. And I've touched a number of people. But while that's incredibly fulfilling, I think it's now time to touch myself!?!
Thanks for coming and drive safely everyone!!!
And remember, free your head... before a Muslim frees it for you!
I originally posted this elsewhere, but I was prompted to re-post it here because of a major update that occurred yesterday...
WARNING: The following includes slang that may not be suitable for some readers. In fact, it's past slang... It's slung!
For my darling wife, English is her second language. And though she speaks and writes it better than most natives... and even better than many Americans, there are gray areas... or pink ones as the case may be...
Anyway, I was writing, my wife was surfing the Net, and a repeat of Desperate Housewives was background noise when I heard...
Desperate Housewife, Lynette: "... I'm a bitch... with a capital 'C'."
I laughed. And my wife inquired...
She: What does the capital "C" do?
Me: It's referring to another word.
(pause)
She (the very picture of innocence): C**t?
Me (now very apprehensive about where this could lead) Uh...... yes.
(Longer Pause)
She: What exactly is a c**t?
Me: (after a long recovery period) Well... it's worse than "bitch".
She: Is it in the dictionary?
Me: I'm sure it is now.
(I return to what I was working on)
(A short while later)
She: Oh it's a VAGINA!
Me: (making that expression where your teeth resemble a smile, but it's really you wondering what's coming next)
She: Jesus... there's even a button to hear it pronounced correctly.
Me: You pronounced it right.
She: I've never heard anyone say it...
Me: Well...
She: Except you.
Me: What?!? When did I say it?
She: At that woman on Family Feud.
Me: OH MY GOD! She was the dumbest c...... bitch with a "C" I've ever seen! She couldn't name ONE State that gets a lot of tourists... ONE?
She:
Me: And she had FIFTY-SEVEN to choose from!
She: See, you said it.
Me: She deserved a lot worse... They should have flown her to Singapore and had her caned!
She:
Me: Then fly her back and ask her the question again. She was so dumb, she'd probably say "Singapore."
She:
Me: Because other than the caning, she enjoyed her stay!
(Pause)
She: Why is calling someone a vagina worse than calling her a bitch?
Me: Did anyone at work ever refer to someone as a bitch?
She: Yes.
Me: Well, the next time that happens, say, 'Yeah, she's a real c**t.
She: I don't think so.
Me: I rest my case.
She: I rest my vagina.
So yesterday, we were watching The Feud, and when it came time for Fast Money, here's the question John O'Hurley put to the woman contenstant:
Name something you use everyday that begins with "C"?!?
