So, last night was pretty busy, lots going on.

• I have now made my first (and soon first personal) foray into the world of Windows Vista by putting Windows Vista Business on one of the ThinkCenter machines here in the office, which scored the amazingly stupendous “Experience Score” of … 1.0! Really, that’s just cause the graphics card sucks, so with a decent graphics card, one of our stock IBM’s here could easily be a 3.0, or a half decent Vista box. It will be installed on my Tablet PC shortly, and I expect it to run the same (low graphics, but high in other areas), and the Business edition has tweaks in place especially for tablets. Good stuff indeed!
• I also got signed up for Vonage to replace my home cell phone (if you still only have my 513 cell number, an e-mail would be good, it won’t work for a couple of weeks), and after a single night, it’s been respectable. Grant you, the true test will be how it holds up when I am on my 360 or doing something else very network intensive, OR how easy it is to port if I am on the road, but at least for this exact moment, I have no complaints and won’t mind the $15 or so a month I’m saving one bit!

Those are the quickie thoughts for now. More on huge flash drives and moving data around later.
