It'd be funnier if it was a picture of Ballmer instead of the dog.

I got my daughter a new laptop for Christmas - with XP on it. We're both 
much happier that way. =)

I did install some cable modem drivers (USB connection) for somebody 
with a Vista laptop. I survived the experience, but it left me shaken 
(rather than stirred).

Yep, I've generally been pretty happy with it. I had to write some 
applescripts and assign them to hotkeys (using Butler to define those, 
Quicksilver has been too flaky and crashy) so I could recreate "The 
Litestep Experience", however. TINAELXL (There Is Nothing Anywhere Else 
Like X Label).

Using bash as shell, Firefox as browser, Thunderbird for news, [Mac]vim 
as my text editor, and rsync to backup/synchronize stuff, I can pretty 
much have a "standard" environment on any platform now.

This is particularly nice when your brain has started to decay. ;)
